I watch them everyday,
Never being seen nor heard
Like a million invisible flies on a wall
Doing nothing-only watching
Thinking…should I help?
it would save her from all the Hurt
But then,
will they come after ME?
should I tell someone?
Or
just turn the other way
Flies.
There are many flies out there
Just like me,
What do those flies do?
Do they continue watching…or…help?
Do I want to be a fly
Anymore?
They called her an ugly fat cow today
She looked at me then.
Silently,
Asking for.
No! begging for help
I was silent.
Silent as a snowflake in the Dead of night
not Breathing
only Seeing.
seeing the Dread
the Terror.
Not moving
Could I move?
Begging. that’s what she was doing
Begging without words
Her eyes screaming Help Me!
I didn’t move
I couldn’t move
Only stare-stare into her teary pain filled eyes
following her eyes
they saw me
what to do-what to do
I ran
ran as fast as I could
leaving
leaving her
leaving them.
