A Friend
Her eyes is full of sorrow
seems losing hope for tomorrow
She try to force a smile
One that never goes out of style
How are you?
I asked her silently
She just nods at me
as she sits down carefully
She fix her dress
She moves with grace
But sadness is evident
on her pretty face
I want to talk to her
want to offer a hug
I want to tell her it’s okay
And gently pat her back
As I look at her intently
I realize she’s familiar
her eyes, nose, her mouth and lips
even her hair colour
I feel attached to her
Like a friend I’ve known for long
I wonder if I’ve seen her before
And then I hear a little voice
“Mom, how long have you been staring in the mirror?”
