Invisibly there?

Invisibly there?

She sits alone, with no one to listen

No one to see her tears that glisten

On the ends of her long lashes

As the memories come back in flashes

She sits alone in a silent world of despair

With a soul in a constant sate of disrepair

She seems so lonely, so very lost

At her feet lie the letters she will never post

This silent, yet strong woman

This fragile yet solid person

Broken down, abused by a man

In a situation that only seemed to worsen

Daily harsh words were spoken

Only for her ears to hear

Daily her shattered resolve was shaken

To the core, causing crippling fear

To never be free, never to smile

It’s in her shoes one should walk a mile

To experience her sorrow, her pain

To finally know there is nothing to gain

In causing another to cry

By hiding the truth, to cover it with a lie

You see, she never shows it

So one will never make her shoes fit

Others never know for they miss

The subtle signs that are there

Other are very quick to dismiss

And always to glance elsewhere

To her, she is the outsider looking in

On your life, wanting and needing

That love, that solid moral support

But sadly for her its silence that seems to resort

In her avoiding the dark pain

Caused by the constant ignorance

Of those that are fair-weather friends

For you see, for her, loneliness never ends.
