In the Corner

Bright eyes
                                   a slender face, 
                               she sit in the corner
                              as she lost her place..

                              Her clothes are worn, 
                              ten years out of style.
                                 Hiding her pain
                           with a half hearted smile..

                               She doesn't fit in,
                            and everyone knows.
                            She enters the room, 
                           to the corner she goes..

                              All it would take
                          is a smile or a glance'
                           But none of us here 
                        will give her that chance..

                          And so It's our loss
                         and we'll never know, 
                       that heart in the corner
                           or feel it's glow..
