Nothing(Written On February5,2009) Poem by Elizabeth Burnworth

People treated her like garbage
And through all their hateful words
She said nothing

She had only one friend
But even he couldnt see
that in her life she saw nothing

he tried and he tried
To make her forget
But still in her heart there was nothing

Then one day he left
Because he loved her so much
But he knew between them there was nothing

She didnt realize until he was gone
That her life was more empty than it was before
And now she had nothing

So she never revealed
The pain hidden inside
Until all she could feel was nothing
