The girl next door (Free verse) by Jennichad
Eyes that used to shine so blue
exposing her love of life.
Shaded and shadowed
the truth of restless nights.
When the sun goes down and
the curtian of darkness falls.
Through the thickness
her crying penetrates the plaster walls.
Each day, each night
she waits next to a silent phone.
He fights a war with many
she fights one here alone.
No one comes to rescue her
From the pain she suffers within herself.
No one even bothers
to ask if she needs help.
Waiting for a letter
she checks the mail every day.
Only bills are overflowing
wanting her to pay.
Her thoughts are filled with longing
sometimes they seem to burn.
Blood red ink marks the days that pass
anxiously awaiting his return.
Time has become a burden
Minutes like hours, hours like day.
passing them in solitude
wishing he was here today.
The girl next door is hurting.
Radiating a silent plea.
No one cares to notice.
No one cares to see.

Company's 1/4 the size now and the salary no longer so great, but I get 10 weeks holidays per year and I'm too lazy to move. But fuck I miss speaking English with native speakers.
