Her Story

she reaches out to grab your hand
you can tell by her eyes alone
just how tall you make her stand
when she no longer has a home

maybe in the next life
she could bleed it on her own
today she takes it all in strife
to always be unknown

you know you can make her smile
but can you make her cry?
throw away denial
tell another useless lie

and she'll believe in what you say
through the grinding of your teeth
you know she's not okay
to be stolen again by her grief

it's sad, her story
that this woman is so hopeless
in all the pain and all the glory
only you stuck her in this mess
