I Can See Her Pain
It's a wonder no one else can see her pain. I mean, it's right there, under everyone's noses and yet they never seem to see it. No one except me.
Every morning she's in the Great Hall, bright and early. Awakening with the sun, sleeping with the moon. Her hair is always frizzy for she can hardly brush it, but I don't think she minds. I don't think she cares.
She doesn't care for her appearance. I hardly think she cares for anything anymore. The flame of life in her eyes has died to a mere flicker of light every blue moon. How I wish to see it rage like a bonfire once again.
Too long has everyone been oblivious to her. Too long has she kept her silence. Too long has she been shunned into the dark corners of the world, to left alone and completely forgotten, or almost.
Sometimes I shake my head in the middle of class just rid myself of her eyes. That desperate look she gives me and I bet everyone else. That is to say I'm the only one to notices it though. Her big brown eyes full of sorrow and agony accompanied by loneliness and the state of being lost. It claws at my consciousness, not letting me forget.
She follows her supposed 'friends' around, half listening to what they're saying. The otherwise she stares out into space, hardly knowing where she's going. I note that she drags her feet as though the weight of the world is on her shoulders.
She hardly puts effort into her assignments any longer. Her grades are slowly slipping. So gradually that no one realizes it. She spends all her time in the library but not studying. No. She finds her corner; a little 'room' like section cut off from the rest of the library, or rather the world. Every time she's there she brings a book. Not just any book, muggle fairytales. Each story I swear has something in common. They all have some type of princess in a horrible problem. In the end she lives happily ever after with her prince. Is this why she reads them? To believe that through these pages in her beloved books she can find her happy ending?
I understand her. I bet I understand her more than anyone else in the world. She just doesn't see that I'm here, that I'm willing to help her. I wish to comfort her and be there for her while she's falling. I can see her pain, but no one else.
