The Sad Girl Walks

The Sad Girl Walks Walking through the cemetery Her eyes stare blankly ahead A veil of silk covers her face Hiding her pale white skin Her mouth is locked in a frown There is nothing in her world to make her smile She tries to talk but she has no voice Not that anyone would listen to her It is still easy to see what she feels The pain that she had suffered Tears have stained her dress How long has she been crying? Has anyone ever told her that she’d be okay? That life has moments of pleasure Who is this girl who walks among the dead? What secrets do her mute lips hide? She is all alone Condemned to walk without a life Just a sad girl in a sad world Walking among the dead Hoping that she will find a life A life that will probably never come

Such a sad but beautiful poem, she maybe alone Rob but it is up to her to find those moments of pleasure. We all make our own happiness or our own hell ! Thank you for the stories you paint in poetry they are always filled with such deep feeling!Love Lizzie
