sometimes her heart cries out she is so alone
facing the world with an expression of stone
hiding the inner turmoil with a happy smile
so many take her at word
not dreaming of her inner world
the fears that dwell deep inside
hidden from the world outside
why does she feel so alone
like her heart is made of stone
she has a life most would envy
yet still inside her heart is heavy
she loves her family more than life itself
and rarely seems to think of herself
her life is given over to them
gladfully, joyfully, on a whim
her family has always been her rock
and now it seems they have forgot
a single woman lost in the world
a daughter lost in the sands of time
can she ever find her way back
to the time it wasn't black
to the time when she didn't cry
to the time before the soul died.
