Strength and courage keeps her alive,
But the pain is cutting deeper inside.
She's chained down by her love of thee,
Yet grown used to not being free.
Her tears fall harder each and every night,
And the sight of her blood gives others a fright.
She continues to smile day after day,
Nearly savoring each moment of pain.
People stare and whisper words of hurt,
Thinking insanity is finally taken hold of her.
To those, she laughs, and throws up the finger,
Pushing away any others who may linger.
She cries when she bleeds, laughs when she cries,
Wondering when she will be able to die.
She's grown addicted to this phase of life,
Become a slave to that blood-stained knife.
One day, she'll awaken and see what's been done,
And work to undo what has already begun.
