Hints of Despair

There were hints of despair
In the way that she sighed
In the way that she walked
In the way that she spoke.

There were hints of despair
In her glittery teary eyes
In the crooked broken smile
In the stance of her face.

There were hints of despair
Painted in her pictures
Written in her words
Sowed into the earth.

There were hints of despair
Around her
With her
In her
Just hints and threads of despair…
