She sits silently
in a dark corner.
... Nobody smiles at her.
Nobody looks at her.
Nobody speaks to her.
She sits and crys.
Nobody hears her tears
hit the floor.
Nobody knows her name.
Nobody knows where she came
from.
She just sits as her
body rakes with sobs.
No warm hello greets her ears.
No pat on her shoulder tells her
not to fear.
Agony and loneliness fills
her sad eyes
When she goes home tonight,
She will put a gun to her head.
~~~~~
Invisible
~~~~~
He watches the team
congratulate each other.
Nobody says a word to him.
Nobody gives him a second glance.
Nobody high fives him
They just pass him by.
He sits alone on a bench.
A tear slips off his tanned face.
Nobody hears him draw in a shaky breath.
Nobody notices him alone.
Nobody tells him how great he is.
But when he goes home tonight,
he will write his wife a goodbye note
and cut his wrists.
~~~~
Invisible
~~~~
She falls on her knees,
crying out in agony.
Nobody seems to see her.
Nobody seems to hear her mournful cry.
They just pass her by.
Laughing and pushing to get a better view.
The crowd rages on.
She crys as she hears the agonizing
scream of her beloved son.
Her heart breaks at the sound of the pounding
hammer.
Nobody notices the mother suffering.
They pass her by without a second glance.
She watches as the cross rises up into the darkened sky.
"Eli sHalom!" she cries as she turns away.
She has never felt more invisible...
~~~~
She sits in a corner alone...
He sits on a bench alone...
She stands under the cross alone...
~~~~
She raised the gun to her head and
almost pulled the trigger when her mother
walked in and took her into her arms.
~~~~~~
He held the knife to his wrist when his wife
walked in congradulating him on his game.
~~~~~~
She turned weakly to find herself
in John's arms.
~~~~~~
Invisible... He died for you...
but He never left you either.
