Here’s the Rub

Folder: 
Lessons Learned

My happiness used to

rub off on you,

smiles imprinted

on dimpled cheeks

transferred from

my face to yours.



Until neither of us

were happy anymore

leaving only

depression to mask

our expressions.



Maybe that is

why you feel  

the need to rub

my melancholy

countenance

in my face,



to remind me who

made who happy.
