she loves but, no one nears her
she hates but, no one fears her
she shouts but, no one hears her
“why am i all alone?”
no one sees how much she needs
no one comforts while she bleeds
no one listens still she pleads
“why am i all alone?”
she tries but, no one
warns her
she cries but, no one
joins her
she dies then they all
mourn her
“why………………?”
Athens, Ohio ‘78
