Watchful

I am a poster

hung on your wall

unable to move or to

yell or to talk

only observing

your every-day life

watching every triumph and strife

you too observe me

in a much different way

only passing glances

am I blessed with each day

you readily judge 

my unmoving pose

a broken figure

a wilted rose

and I wish I could reach

out to you now

but I am restrained

held there by vow

I'd say only nice things

I promise, you'll see

I'll be the best rose

a woman can be

but what can I say?

I am without fear

for I was the one

who hung myself here
