Whispers

Whispers

I stand staring at that girl,
that girl I see every day,
and I see pictures blurring her eyes
like tears long wiped away.

But I know those tears are there,
hidden within her heart.
Like true tears, they're slowly,
tearing her apart.

I know I should say something,
to take away her pain,
but the air remains silent,
her demons remain un-slain.

Those demons are her secret,
whispering in her mind,
all the truths she's never denied,
whispering words unkind.

The whispers, they grow louder,
feeding on her soul,
eating away all the joy,
that once made her feel whole.

I see those tears again,
this time in her eyes.
The demons yelling in her head,
what she once believed as lies.

But still I stand staring,
in the mirror at this girl I see,
and as I try to wipe the tears away,
I remember that girl is me.

When She Cries

When She Cries

See the inner part of what lies inside;

When she cries, look into her eyes.

The shattered dreams that lived within.

That part of her that slowly dies.

~

Watching as life has passed her by,

As she cries again deep into the night.

With memories of her child’s life having gone;

Alone again, she cries in to the morning light.

A life of broken dreams is all that she’s known;

Like a cold winter wind that blows relentlessly strong.

Even though so many times she has tried;

All of it has gone so hopelessly wrong.

As the tears continue to fall from her eyes;

The hard years of road she has traveled on.

Another large piece of her continues to die;

All the love she once knew has all but gone.

She doesn’t think it’s worth trying,

Not knowing just where she belongs.

As the tears continue to fall from her eyes;

Grasping desperately, trying to hold strong.

Her faith is no longer here to be found;

Again she cried deep into the night.

Through her cries of pain she slowly died;

Never to wake again by the morning light.
