ShadedSorrow

Faceless girl

The faceless girl

wanders silently

down the street.

Her cold, dark heart

beating slow.

She avoids eye-contact

because eyes are the

windows to the soul-

or so she has been told.

 

The faceless girl

doesn\'t wish to love

or feel love,

for fear of breaking 

hearts.

Or is it because

she\'s afraid of

her own heart being broken?

They all stare,

because they don\'t really

care about her.

All they see are 

her outward features,

and that is not enough.

Oh, if they only knew

how she felt.

How she is there- 

but not really there.

 

The faceless girl

wanders silently

down the street.

Her eyes stay low, 

afraid of what 

she might see.

I know how she feels,

because this girl,

this faceless girl,

is really me.
