The Girl At The Counter
There was something
About this girl
The distant look on her face
Told me she didn't want to be bothered
But the scars on her wrists
Told me to ask her
For her story
I couldn't help but stare
As she packed my items
I continued staring at her
Hoping she would notice
And converse
I needed to know
The truth behind this girl
Her imperfections captured me
It was as though I knew
She was different
She wasn't like the rest
She was a misfit
Thanks
She handed me the bag
I wanted to yell out
I wanted to scream
But all i could do
Was nod and walk away

I've always been fascinated by people because everyone has a past, a story. I saw this girl and I was just captured by her.
