As I look
Into the book of my life
I see a young woman
She’s kneeling on cold concrete
Her knees bleeding into the filth
Scarred
Scared

She doesn’t know where she’s been
Or where she’s going
Lost
A single, solitary soul
Alone

All around her the lies are closing in
A group of shadowy figures surrounding her
Mocking
Laughing and pointing
As they stab her over
and over again

She can’t get up
The weight of living is too great
She falls to the floor
Face covered in mud
and tears
so many tears

She’s given her all
There’s nothing left to give
But her best in not good enough
it’s never good enough

The lying figures
Are never satisfied
They won’t stop until she’s broken
Until she joins them
or ends it

She tries to hold onto her innocence
that sweet delusion
That everything will be fine
Why?
Because if that faith trembles and falters
She will never start again
An engine that is forever tired
and who knows when it will break again
It could be today
Tomorrow?

The fragile woman looks up at me
tearstained face longing
begging me to end it for her
to fade away
If only it where that simple

The pain in her eyes is hidden
Behind the smile on her face
Through cracked lips she laughs
The jokes masking the truth
One lonely soul
Longing to escape the shackles of life.
A small look into the feelings surrounding my old relationship.
