• SHE

    She's the girl next to you,
    The silent girl,
    You never hear her,
    Because she doesn't want you to.

    The girl who hides away.
    The girl who hides behind her hair.
    She conceals her face from the world,
    Never to be seen.

    Her words are harsh and cold,
    Pushing people away.
    She hides in the darkness,
    Waiting for time to stop.

    Her heart of stone,
    Knows no love.
    Her emotionless eyes,
    Never again to show emotion.

    Then he came,
    He stepped into the picture.
    She didn't want to fall
    Into another pit of lies.

    She pushed him away,
    But that only brought him closer.
    He found her in the darkness,
    And pulled her to the light.

    He warmed her heart of stone,
    And showed her love.
    He showed her how to live,
    And she was happy.

    Then he left,
    He disappeared just like that.
    Now she cry out for him,
    And he's no longer there.

    She tries to smile.
    But fails.
    She tries to take another step,
    But can't.

    For weeks she tries,
    And fails.
    Then she realized,
    She can't go on.

    She sees the world,
    With Lifeless eyes.
    The pain swells inside her,
    And she makes a choice.

    She died that night,
    Unable to go on.
    She lost the will to live.
    She died in cold blood.
