Collapse

Days go by, we live our lives, she is always there

We see her, but we don't

She exists, she watches us; she thinks we don't care

A smile on her ruby lips; it is all just lies

If we could read her thoughts

Watch her smile now, very close; doesn't reach her eyes

Very smart, she's a writer, pen always in hand

Works that no one has read

Quiet soul, she's a poet no one understands

She goes to school, she comes home; not a single friend

A fortress in her mind

She's built walls in her defense; waiting for the end

Her mother and her father; verbal battlezone

Takes refuge in her art

Even in a crowded room, she still feels alone

Crumbling castle, falling down; her world breaks apart

Silently she's weeping

Her refuge has betrayed her; breaks her fragile heart

A razor, or a bullet, or a fist of pills

She calmly makes her choice

One by one, she swallowed them; now lies cold and still

Poor dear child, a tragic tale; none could lend a hand

She never stood a chance

How could we hear her silence? Could we understand?

Is she damned? Has she no hope? Can she be redeemed?

Please, God, forgive her deed

She gave up on all she'd planned; lost all she had dreamed

Had she reached, we would have helped; but she hid in fear

Now she's beyond our aid

Friends and family, we all grieve; Goodbye, Sara dear.
