A girl that no one knows

by dani   Jul 7, 2006


Today I saw a girl who I had never met
A girl whose voice was never heard
She stared me in the eyes, at first just a glance
Soon eyes locked, but not a single word.

She seemed the girl I had grown to hate
The girl that others purposely isolated
I wanted to turn but there was something
Something about her that had me fixated

I tried to work out what she meant to me
Why I simply could not stop staring
Her face, clothes and empty expressions
Her eyes had determination bearing

A tear rolled down her cheek; glistening
Inevitably falling towards the floor
And then I felt my own soft cheek
And there a congruent tear I bore

Slowly Seconds turned to minutes;
Minutes to hours that felt like years
But I couldnâ??t pull myself away
And I can no longer fight the tears

I soon realised that I hated this girl
It is the person that I most of all despise
The way she always makes me feel
I see the destruction in her eyes

But slowly I have come to realise
That at first I clearly did not see
That I do not just know this person
But this person is a part of me

And as I turn away from the mirror
The glistening river of tears flows
And I wonder how much harm can come
Form a girl that no one knows.
