She Didn't Have a Face

 
For you never knew her name.....
 
The way she moved, the way her presence drifted through the rafters
The way she was, yet never was...
The way she existed yet sank beneath the tumultuous waves
Clinging to the hope that someone would hear her screams
Struggling to breathe in this world that channeled her energy
Into a windmill of tepid darkness
And ransacked even the whitest of evil
If evil could ever be still long enough to drag the next victim...
No one ever knew who she was
No one ever saw her face
No one ever listened for her calls for help
And no one stood still long enough to understand
The very evil that ensued her footsteps
How she tried to tell the truth of who she was
Yet remembered that smirks lay not far from where she stood
Darkness...
Shadows...
Eeriness...
Falling...
 
Don't walk away from what you don't understand
Don't hide from something that scares you and makes your heart jump
Don't pretend you never knew she existed
Don't underestimate the power you hold within your grasp
The very power to make or break the darkest spell
That threatens to place a choke-hold on the nearest being....
 
She escaped from this asylum of guilt and pain
Shackled by the laughter and empty words
She found a way to let the world know she never existed
The way they mocked her to tears
That flowed like acid rain down her marble face
It's as if she never was....
