Cold voices
Overshadow
A weary mind
Full of doubt,
And grief
For the man
Whom she
Loves
Will never
Love her so,
And she doubts
Her self-confidence,
Her voice is weak
From praying,
Her knees tremble,
For she knelt
On them all night
Long,
Her head aches,
For these voices
They shout
In cold monotones,
They say
Prejudiced things
That hurt her
And she dies
A little more
Inside.
She wonders
Whether it will
Ever be over,
For she wishes
For her life to end,
She wants to
Rid her mind
Of painful moments
And words, unkind.
She knows that
His love for her
Will never ever be,
For she is only one
To the world,
One to him,
But not THE one,
She is a person,
Striving to make
The best of humanity,
But the longer
She strives,
The longer
She waits,
For she never
Knows that he
May have been ready
For her,
A long time ago,
And she missed that
Chance,
And now he misses
That chance,
For he does not
Understand
What these cruel voices
Say,
He does not
Understand
That she does not
Realize or recognize
Subtle love,
That may have once been,
That may one day be,
That will never be
For he loves another
And these cold voices
Laugh
And tease,
For she will never
Feel his touch,
Know his kiss,
Learn his fears,
She will never
Experience his love
For she is only one
In a world full of others,
Brimming with
Keen, skilfull minds.
She is just about
Ready to give up,
To let go,
To commit the final act
That will save her soul,
I am almost ready
To die,
For you...
