Nearly unnoticed

[DeviantOne]

Harsh words and violent blows

Hidden secrets nobody knows

She is lonely

Even though you can't tell

She is reaching out

For what, she doesn't know

She will continue to sit in silence

And hope that someone may stumble accross

Her and all of her emptiness

But they only hope that they do it in time

Otherwise she will have drifted too far

And she may let go

Of whatever grasp of the world she has

As she slowly fades out of the lives of everyone

Nearly unnoticed....

Wow... I love it... so sad though...

Where in Australia are you by the way?

[Shadows Light]

Sad story...yes. But you can see it on the faces of some who are on that dark journey. Its like the life has gone out of thier eyes.

 

I know a woman who can't smile. She's in her 50's.. and now has grandchildren. Her smiles don't reach her eyes. Her laughs have a ring of.... hollowness to it. When you talk to her of life... she see's darkness, bitterness, and all the bad in the world very clearly. I wonder if even the the flowers have lost thier color for her. If she see's the world in the beautiful color she once used to as a young woman.

 

The look in her eyes is blank... its as if she's waiting for that final blow of some tragic accident or disease to take her away.

 

Hope lost. So sad. Yes.

[Ms. Babydoll]

I really like it, it has something so moving about it, I'd love to hear more!

there's something undefinable in both the rhythm and the sentiment of this poem... i can't put my finger on it... but it absolutely gets my attention.
