Unimaginable

A face that is sad
Angry and mad,
Furrowed brow
And an unhappy frown.
What can it be,
This woman we see,
That's causing her such distress?
A death in the family,
A family that's starving?
Or maybe a house that burnt down?
To see such a face that pulls at your heart,
It must be unimaginable
To understand what has happened to her.
We see not her thoughts,
We see only a face
That forces a feeling of empathy.
No, we don't know,
Nor will we ever know,
What has made this woman feel this way.
We can only imagine
The words she would say.
