The Invisible Man 14

I wrote the Invisible man poems many years ago. These poems, and I have not submitted them all, was for a little girl who died in a road accident. They are a tribute to her memory. It was a dark and very sad time and I miss her so much. The Invisible Man poems are supposed to to show the the darkness of my world, the way I felt. They are very precious to me. Thank you for reading. The invisible man goes behind the stores looking for some food, by then he has had enough the bitterness and hate. He thinks if he has happy thoughts he will be happy. It seems its always a warm spring day when I walk with you down my memory lane, I remember always holding hands with you as we smile and walk down there again, The sun is shining brightly with flowers budding along the pathways of the past, Pointing out little birds and beautiful wild flowers are my memories that last, No clouds dare to mar the sun's watery glow, which melts into skies of soft blue, No shadows would dare to mask the sun when I'm walking back in time with you, From those long ago golden times I remember only happiness and never any tears, Those were the most beautiful days of my life, the sweetest of all my many years, For a short while I forget my loneliness the dreadful loss the hurting and the pain, It’s always spring and happiness when we hold hands skipping down old memory lane. Thinking of the past makes him so very sad, sadness that comes from deep within, A wrenching passion that makes him lower his head into his coat to hide his warm, tears that uncontrollably drip from his gaunt cheeks and splash on his ruined shoes. Nasty bullying men taunting him and pointing out what he already knows that he is a cancer on society that he stinks worse than the garbage he rummages through and would better off dead.He shuffles past these people and leans on a wall Invisible sobs loudly he can't stop. All the pain and constant sadness is too much so he goes to a supermarket and buys some, cheap booze to ease the pain. He queues with his bottle of cheap vodka his face still wet with tears. Everyone moves from his queue to another one Invisible cannot get out of the shop quick enough. He sits on a bench in the shopping center and begins to drink. The more he drinks the quieter the taunts are. Darkness hides him in neon light his sadness is now bearable.He sits with his bottle between his legs and just stares at the floor and as the booze disappears so does Invisible.
