The tears slip slowly down
Her world smashing to pieces
Who knew her heart held so much
It was tattered and bent with creases
Her eyes a midnight black
The stars stare down in shame
She's pretended for so long
She no longer knows her name
Her soul is slipping from her
The knife held in her hand
Her body weak and cut
She can't find the strength to stand
She acts as though she is fine
So no one will ever see
The truth hidden under all the lies
Of what she pretends to be
Her nightmares becoming true
Losing herself each day
Falling farther away from the light
No one knowing she wasn't okay
She cuts her wrists to dull the pain
She thinks it makes her heal
To her this is the only way
For her to not have to feel
Her reflection growing fainter
She knows she is so close to dying
She grew numb to the pain long ago
After the sleepless nights of crying
The result of no one seeing the truth
And of no one loving her so
If only they had looked into her eyes
and beyond what they wanted to know.
