She sits, staring
Eyes are blurred
With tears unshed
She hears echoes
Echoes of so many things
The tears threaten
Threaten to spill
From her red rimmed eyes
And her jaw clenches
Squeezing back the sobs
Barring the path of her voice
But her voice isn't there
She is mute with pain
Unmoving
Fearing action
Will have a consequence
The birds outside
Are the only noise
The only backdrop to her agony
And I can't break her gaze
As I stare at her through the mirror
