What She Didn't See
June 1, 2013
The second you looked away--
that was when the mask slipped
when it was really her
and you weren't there to see it
to see her
you were too busy
talking on the phone
making plans
laughing with your friends
your mind was already
half-way out that front door
shouldn't a mother be there for her daughter?
shouldn't she listen?
shouldn't she believe?
they say
children should be seen
and not heard
maybe that's why there are
so many dead children
