Sign Language

Do you see her sitting there
All alone in a darkened room
Can you feel the deep sorrow
It surrounds her like a tomb

Can you see her teardrops
As they fall and touch her skin
Do you feel in each teardrop
How much pain she's held within

Can you hear the cries she utters not
As if here sound has no place
Do you see her eyes squeezed shut
The different expressions upon her face

Can you feel her insecurities
As she rocks to and fro
Do you see how she hugs herself
Sign language of a tortured soul
