No Words


by: Megan Williams Lying down she sleeps So still So sick So weak She opens her eyes All you can see is emptiness inside She does not speak I stand over her Like a guardian angel You can feel her sorrow You can see her pain Her body is wearing down Her mind becoming numb You want to help But cannot You try to help But fail She is suffering While you are watching I stand here still So strong So healthy I open my mouth I cannot speak.
