Empty company
She sits staring into space,talking,and waiting
she wants to speak,but can't
it's in her head holding on to that one word
her best friend comes in gracefully,quietly
no one knows she's there but,her
They sit having a conversation, dad busts in with so much frustration,
she turns he then began striking her,
he leaves,she weeps
her father doesn't see her friend,so they talk
she sits staring into space,talking,and waiting
she then realizes that her friend is her insanity,
Infanitly giving her empty company.
