Image for the poem She was....

She was....

She was ...
The epitome of broken
Soul...wide open
Vulnerable...even
to the Sunlight...
As it revealed...
her less savory journeys
Into...the dark of Night

You could tell...
because the reflection showing
In her eyes
Was really the Pathway to Hell

She would only tilt her head
As she remembered the man...20 years ago
Who whispered... for her not to tell

Sitting there twisting her hair
into knots...and counting....
constantly counting...
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
I wondered...as I watched her
rocking and counting...
If this set of numbers were
the culprits to her current state
What did she suffer through 4 x...
Was it four Loved ones she missed
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
I watched her....
as others walked by
like she didn't exist
Yet I guess its hard
to see somebody else's pain..

When your own has your eyes clouded.

I walked over to her...
and said hello...
She... didn't even know I was there
Maybe she was used to being invisible
Maybe she hoped her invisibility cloak
would start working .... at any minute
Maybe...
She was so busy reliving her own Hell
That this world....stopped existing
A long time ago...
I don't know...
It's just that....
Her pain screamed at me
making me want to pick up each and every
one of her pieces so she could be
Carefully and Lovingly put back together
But then...
I realized.... no body was gonna
Patch me up...
While I patched her up...
Guess I better leave all the patching
to the professionals ...
except for the grace of the Most High...
There go I...
I walked away...
with a prayer on my lips
and tears...
In my eyes.

Where are the Super Hero's
when you need them....
