PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a lonely face

in a crowded hallway

a lonely face

passing by

you see the scares

and think nothing of it

you see the hurt

and do nothing for it

a familiar face

in a crowded hallway

a familiar face

passing by

you see the abuse

and do nothing for it

you see the signs

and think nothing of it

This lonely face  

Is that familiar face?

That familiar face

Is a childhood friend

that childhood friend

is now nowhere to be found

that childhood friend

died last night

and you refuse to weep

when will the ones you love now

become just another childhood friend
