Do you see it yet?


First Week
Big smile,
Shiny eyes,
Nothing unordinary,
Everythings alright?
Do you see it yet?

 

Second Week,
Maybe a tear,
Maybe they mention being sad,
Do you brush it off?
Do you see it yet?

 

Third Week,
85 degrees out,
She's in a sweater,
She cut her hair,
Said she's feeling great she's starting to feel in place,
Do you see it yet?

 

Fourth Week,
Even with the bright sun,
Her smile is gone,
Her eyes should tell you,
Something is wrong,
Do you see it yet?

 

Fifth Week,
She does't talk,
Head is down,
You had to ask twice,
Before she even made a sound,
Do you see it yet?

 

Sixth Week,
She's angry, manic, 
You say sorry,
You say goodnight,
She repied with good-bye,
Do you see it yet?

 

Finally,
She's laid in a coffin,
Her face held peace for the first time in weeks,
Beautiful and pale,
If you didnt know then you know now,
She'd been long gone,
When the coffin was lowered into the ground and you went home,
Had you seen it yet?
