Two smiling faces

When dark fell upon me,

I saw two faces smiling at me,

Giggling, laughing 

And even mocking me!

What those silly foolish children knew about me?

Yeah, I was older than them

Complete fifty years.

But they were cunning

Expert at trickery, fudging someone

That was me.

Last year I had caught them

Warned them

Made I a mistake,

Of thinking them children.

They had planned

Since long ago, 

I  guess for last whole damn year,

Had no hint of it,

When it finally came

It washed everything away.

This was last of it,

For I was leaving

Far from their eyesight,

Never to return here,

Never to return here.

But what was that,

I was much older

But they went out of eyes so soon,

In the blink of eye,

Two disgusting figures,

Took them away.

Free them, I beg you,

For I am no more to free them

For I am no more to free them.

A tantalising mix of images that has made me think.
