Among Us

With a white light that nobody saw she began to walk among us. Watching, listening, observing the flow. As she saw love she grew brighter yet still unseen trod carefully. A silent advocate, amalgamating a heart. "I love you", "Darling", "My Sweet", the beautiful tunes within fleshy receptacles. Oh how they sang for her that day. A temporary visit to gauge the crowds inconspicuous yet vast powerful but softly. Turns and travels in an opposing direction. It had only been yards, a mere moment to bear witness oh how we change. To hurt and bitter and spite. With a dark shadow that nobody saw she began to fall beneath us. Retching, tormented, avoiding the flow. For the ten thousandth time.
