He saw... an over made-up clown, eyes caked in shadow, lips redder than reality, cheeks on fire. She was... hiding the pain of her appearance, trying to look like the "norm", feeling hideous and needing a mask. He heard... her voice shrill and loud, her attitudes obtrusive, her opinions waivering with the crowd. She was... desperate to be noticed, drowning in self-doubt, craving reassurance, acceptance. He felt... she was cold and callous, harsh with her words, dark and unloving. She was... hurt to the point of no return, a soul full of love with no one to love, no one to trust. He left. She was already gone.

He Knew Her Not
