I Saw You In the Window
I saw you in the window but nothing was said.
Just a face of sadness from your down turned head.
A vision of desperation without any sound …
a sense of ‘imprisonment’ where no freedom was found.
The heartbreak was tangible in the face that I saw.
I wanted to help … for I couldn’t take more.
Then you lifted your head and for a moment our eyes met,
as you opened your mouth and I saw what you said.
“Help me please HELP ME”! Was the cry that I saw,
as tears streamed down your cheeks … my heart broke even more.
