pains me to remember
the pain of the girl
the aloneness
of the girl
that nobody saw
pains me to hear
now in my head
the mind of the girl
as she looked
around her
at the world
at her world
nobody saw
pains me to see
can’t do no more for the girl
who saw everything
yet was not seen
just caught between
never quite
here or there
like a solid ghost
nobody saw
she saw
endless
pain
