this is me

Things fall apart
Lives crash down
Things burn away
They get destroyed
Its always the same
Everywhere she goes things are hidden,
Or were they lost long ago?
Every time she cries, it hurts no one
She wishes to change
But she sees no way out
She is held captive
Trapped in deceit
Lost in lies
Things fall around her and she can't rebuild her lost life
It is torn beyond repair
It can never be the same
She cries.
But is she heard?
She doesn't know
She hopes for the best
Yet her injuries destroyed all hope
Her destroyed hopes kill hidden dreams
She can't find a way out of her silence
Her words are lost in the storm
They are no more then sighs in the wind
Will things change?
She hopes so
Alas she is afraid to hope
She is scared to trust again
Though she knows she still trusts
She still hopes
She still dreams
Above all she still cries as she watches everything die
She watches and knows that she can do nothing
In the end the deaths will add up and she will become one of the dead
She will eventually be gutted and left empty and alone.
