Still

She was always taught to obfuscate.
Now she's left alone to suffocate.
Silence. I watch her, movement so still,
I watch her, drowning at her own will.

I watch her- watch her as she watched them.
In silence, in calm, as the doors slam.
The two doors never opened. Shut out,
She shut herself up. Learnt to live without.

She sees me. She's silent. I watch her.
Slowly she sinks. Ripples on the water.
The surface is still again. Flawless.
Once more unaffected by the caress.
