This World Alone

She sits and waits. 
Longing for something 
or someone
that may never come. 
Lost in a world 
that wants nothing more 
than to keep her hidden  in 
her fear and her 
pain. 
Does anyone see her? 
Does anyone hear her? 
The feeling of invisibility wraps around 
her spirit as she 
sits and waits. 
Searching for something 
she can't seem to reach. 
Something she is not sure is even 
there. 
He walks around, 
alone in this world, 
looking for something he feels is missing
something he can't seem to find. 
He pulls a picture out 
of his pocket, 
a face he no longer sees
looking back at him. 
How he wishes things 
were different, 
that it were him that was 
no longer here, 
instead of the one 
thing he misses the most. 
Does anyone see him? 
Does anyone hear him? 
Lives lived searching for the unknown. 
Lives longing for something 
their souls desperately need
to cling to, but is out of their grasp. 
God sees it all, 
He sees them, 
He hears them and He 
has never left them. 
Through the pain, the tears, 
the heartaches they have faced
He was there. 
He is waiting for them to reach out, 
to call on Him. 
He longs to heal their pain, 
show them His plan, but
until they stop 
limiting His hands, 
there is nothing He can do. 
God sits above us, 
waiting for 
us to hear Him, 
to see Him working in 
our lives. 
If only they would seek Him.
