People Watching

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

See that girl sitting in the corner?
See her sit alone and still?
She looks off in the distance and her
eyes give you a chill.
Dark and blue and sad and lonely
off she stares into deep space,
hooping, wishing she could only 
keep the tears off of her face.
Does it bother you to see her
sitting there alone and blue?
Does it bother you to wonder
if she feels the way YOU do?
Maybe if you went to see her
you could wipe tears from her eyes.
Maybe you could hear her laughter
instead of hearing all her cries.
If you don't act on your feelings, 
you will never realize
all she wants is someone who
can understand her pain inside.

Reason for writing:

    While I was sitting watching someone, I realized that someone 
could be watching me too, and I wondered if they would ever consider
coming over to talk, or would they just watch, as I did....
