They talked,
She was silent.
They laughed,
She remained solemn.
At the table,
They spoke to her.
She answered
With gentleness
But there was something
That separated them.
They laughed.
She laughed with them,
Not knowing
What remained between them.
She finally got up,
Leaving them
Sitting,
Laughing,
Having a great time.
She went outside
All alone
Without saying a word
And knelt down
and cried.
