Lost

I saw a girl the other day
she looked very sad
her face was drawn and pale
her eyes were red and puffy from the tears
there was still tears in her eyes yet unshed
as i stared
her cheeks were hollow and colorless
she was nothing special to look at
in her eyes was the look of loneliness, the absence of attention
at the instant i saw it the happiness was gone in its place:cold acceptance
i wanted to tell her the sorrow wouldn't last
but wen i reached out my hand,only my reflection reached back.
