To the girl I saw at my work today,
I could tell that you are struggling to find your way.

And it hit me hard that I had never knew,
Just exactly what you had been through.

Though I had never noticed before,
The scars on your wrist looked pretty sore.

I have known you for over a month now,
But never once to did I raise a brow.

You have been fighting a battle all on your own,
Never once letting your true sadness be shown.

You hide your tears behind a beautiful smile,
That seemed to make everyone want to stay a while.

But no one questioned the lonely look in your eyes,
no, you hid it too well behind your disguise.

The once bright lights in your mind,
had dulled themselves in being too kind.

It was obvious that you had been broken,
even without the words being spoken.

But perhaps the most depressing part,
Was that you had broken your own heart.

I want nothing more than to reach out to you,
Just hoping and wishing that you some how knew.

These past several months have shown,
when you are down you are never on your own.

But I can't bring myself to speak anymore,
my words seem to always be at war.

You continue to walk past,
I wonder if today would be your last.

My lips stay closed as you go on,
Hopefully onto your own new dawn.

If only I could better explain,
maybe these thoughts wouldn't be in vain.
