She lifted her head And opened her eyes Life stood before her And fed her with unwanted lies She wanted to end her life Before it slowly killed her inside But it took all her strength Just to control the tears she cried Now, she's tearing at the flesh Making herself bleed Just to prove she's alive The scarred wrists is all I need To know that she is hurting Her eyes plead for help And I see the pain But there's nothing I can do Her empty breaths choke her heart Drowning in a sea of fear There is no yesterday, no tomorrow, no today She sinks into herself, giving into the pressures of life Gingerly she touches the fresh razor cuts Tracing her old scars Her world is clouded with shadows of sorrow Today dies and brings the dreaded tomorrow The cold arms of sadness pulls her where depression kills many Her beauty lies in her deeply hidden scars Her blood, staining the white carpets Like early misted dawn foreshadowing the sun I wait for her, to dry her tears, and cover up those scars She cries inside like a frightened child Afraid to open up Who will cry for me? Not I She died tonight... Because no one cared
