do you see it?

the gradual worsening of her posture;
shoulders hunching over
as if mourning
the death
of her happiness
and cowering
from her demons

how her eyes aren't as bright
and her laugh not as passionate,
just a hollow
rehearsed
echo

off the walls of her empty heart
as depression clutches her in its ever-tightening grip
keeping her hostage

but she shrugs.
it's comfortable.
