Saving Her Poem by Lauren C

Saving Her



I don't recognize the shell of a person staring at me
Her eyes drained of all emotion
Her lips speak but I don't hear what they say
Her limbs just hanging there
As if she no longer has control of her body
Her face looks drawn
Sleepless nights have taken the light from her eyes
Her body sways with the breeze
As if any strong wind would just blow her away
Slouched over as if every heartbreak has taken it's place on her back
Shallow breathing as if there isn't enough oxygen for her and her aching heart
People walk past as if they don't see the broken woman in from of them
She is withering away right in front of my eyes
And I can't do anything to save her
I reach out to touch her
She disintegrates into thin air
She wasn't here
She wasn't real
She was a figment of my imagination
I open my eyes
and stare at the woman with cold dead eyes looking back at me in the mirror
