Can't you see inside her? <br />A broken past <br />Secrets unrevealed <br />A longing for more? <br /> <br />And you just walked by. <br /> <br />Do you see right through her? <br />Past the smiling face <br />The glowing eyes <br />The crooked smile? <br /> <br />And you just walked by. <br /> <br />A beautiful cover <br />filled with pages of Broken words. <br />She only waits for someone, <br />Anyone to notice. <br /> <br />Still you just walk by. <br /> <br />Tonight could be it, <br />the light may go out. <br />Perhaps on the other side <br />is a life worth the living. <br /> <br />And you just walk by. <br /> <br />Love is her friend, <br />one she has never met. <br />Will she find it, <br />Before the end? <br /> <br />Yet for now she sits, <br />torn inside, <br />Wearing the mask <br />of a happy life. <br /> <br />And you just walked by.<br /><br />Jim Butler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-you-just-walked-by/
