There Once Was A Girl
There once was a girl
Beautiful was she
But trapped was her being
Too weak to break free
Confined in her heart
She wailed into the night
Broken and dying
Full of sorrow and spite
This once lovely girl
With jade for eyes
Has lost her beauty
Turned grey from the lies
And the lies spark the fear
And the fear sparks the hate
And with all of her pain
This is too much to take
With broken heart
Broken eyes
Trapped in herself
The pain rules her life
Until finally she breaks
And the tears on her face
Cascade even faster
A waterfall, summer rain
But the rain isn’t just water
It’s the rich ruby blood
From the veins in her wrist
From the throat she has slit
Her heart was broken
And her mind as well
Her head full of darkness
Living was hell
And death is now heaven
To the shattered being that once was
A beautiful girl, such a darling girl
The pain was simply just too much
