Who knows the girl
in the corner
drowning
in tears?
Is there one
who would take a chance
and join her there
in a lonely place
where she
can let
her feelings show?
The feelings
which have
been pushed back
for so long.
Not acknowledged
but still
they are there
deepening
with age.
If someone
would care
just enough
to reach
her pool
formed
by the world
in a foul
selfish mood.
It's no wonder
no one comes.
They put her there
under the waves
of her emotional sea.
Wait!
Someone stopped
to see
the pitiful figure
in the corner.
Hope
leaps to her heart.
Just a flicker.
It was just
another face
stooping to stare
at the oddity
that is her.
She vows
never to look up
and to hope
again.
The pain
of rejection
is just too much
for her to bear
alone.
She hates
everyone
and will accept
no one.
fear of hurt
hold her there
crying out
lonliness.
In the grave
she does not feel
she will feel
alone.
I suppose
she will go there
for a while.
Alone and unaware
ReplyDeletethat anyone was watching
Dressed the way
lonely people dress
Melting into the background
avoiding attention
Thinking that the world had
forgotten her
No, hoping her action
caused the world not to notice
She could blame it on that;
her actions
It wasn't her,
it was her actions
Forty
maybe fifty
I wondered
what was her day like
Did people make her feel,
did they?
I feel your loneliness,
you made me feel
I see you hiding
because you can't
I cry for you
in my heart
I see you
hiding
