Too no longer hide, but to fear.
He goes through it everyday
 Every minute
 
 She hears the words
 Even the ones left unspoken
 
 As he walks heads turn
 Words are whispered ever so softly 
 
 She feels the stares
 Knows the look of disgust upon their faces
 
 He hides the bruises 
 Hides what they do 
 
 She uses it to get away
 To feel free of them
 
 Everyday brings more
 Every step hurts
 
 She use to have friends
 They all left after they heard
 
 He can't sleep
 The nightmares always taunt him
 
 She lives on the street
 Parents disowned their "shame"
 
 He can't take another day
 This is it, he's done
 
 She feels lost and alone
 Doesn't want to continue
 
 He's knows where to find it
 To find that lethal escape
 
 She grabs the cold steel
 Feels it in her hands and knows what to do
 
 He fills it feeling more sure than ever
 Holds it to his chest knowing the end result
 
 She places it in that sweet spot
 The one that's sure to work
 
 He wants to end the pain
 The hate, the shame
 
 She knows what to do
 All she must do to end it
 
 He feels the cold metal in his hand
 Says one last goodbye and pulls the trigger
 
 She finds the courage 
 Releases her demons, with the whisper of her goodbye
 
 Two futures lost
 Because of the hate
 Two people never to see tomorrow
 Because of the pain 
 Two names to be forgotten
 Because no one cared.
