How can’t you see the Despair in her eyes?
how can’t you see she cries at night?
A face full of tears and wrists full of scars
She’s Broken to Pieces and is Falling apart….
Can’t you see the look in her eyes, begging for death and screaming for light?
she’s losing her hope, she’s losing her mind
soon she’ll be dead without a goodbye.
How couldn’t you see the despair in her eyes?
How couldn’t you see that she cried at night?
her face full of tears and her wrists full of scars
she’d broken to pieces and had lost her heart,
she used to be happy and filled with glee
but now she lies under a slab of cement,
she smiled as she left, she lit up the dark as her last breath left her broken heart.
