Leave it off
he said with a scoff
then gave a laugh
as noisy as a doff.
She sat there long
with a stare all along
humming a song
she looked not strong.
With an empty look
seemed like an empty book
stayed with a hook
confined to a nook.
She talked to herself gently
tears ran down slowly
could forget nothing easily
she whimpered inconsol
ably
