She rose up from the dull ache,
of times of yesteryear, which she will forsake,
Ragged, edges, bleeding seeds
of doubt onto her, such cruel deeds,
Calling out in china tones,
her voice breaking in such monotones,
Heart-felt whines of lonely lies,
lyrical in such potent cries,
The book of despondent flower-tainted tales,
clutched under her malnourished arm, it pales,
taking in the sepia tones of other years,
and what it held, before her tears,
the silence smothered everything true
worth a dollar to her, her soul so blue,
Feather-light kisses bruised her supple skin
in some tornado of hate and sin,
effortless malice, unfeeling, softly in their tones,
breaking down the emptiness, still it groans,
only to replace it with this dark smoke,
No ears to hear the words she spoke,
Still she waits on broken dreams,
broken hearts, and fatal screams,
crying out; "Please take me home,"
Still she sits, still all alone,
still she dares to hope for more,
than anything she had before,
This little diamond upon rocks,
falling faster, they changed the locks,
so she can't find her way back again,
She gave up then, to a life of pain,
She sits upon these rocks, still dying,
But who cares if she is crying?
They forgot her long ago,
Even though she loved them so,
And there she'll stay, she'll always be,
thinking; "Isn't someone missing me?"
