Somewhere

May I read it to you? Single click on arrow

She sits and stares

unfocused eyes swimming to the horizon

Gazing into infinity

.

No sign of tears

Her expressionless face an empty canvas

A sea of pallor

I look into her eyes

I see nothing but a swirling mist of grey

That sparkle gone

I try to ask her why

a cloud of despair envelopes her

She hears me not

But I will wait

I’ll stay by her side for as long as it takes

for her to return

But for now

She inhabits a sorrowful place of her own

Somewhere

I know not where
