The secret within
the pain and sin
has taken its morbid toll.
Look deep in her eyes
list' to the cries
echoing within her soul.
Oft' times as she weeps
o'er the secrets she keeps
her tears would fall to the floor.
This time she knows
as the ghost within grows
that she can't take the pain anymore.
Now in the night
hidden from sight
she lays on her bed to cry.
Alone and afraid
completely dismayed
she wonders if this time she'll die.
"The cold sharp steel
that I can feel
foreshadows my very life.
Is this the key
to the mystery
that haunts my soul with strife?"
The pure silver cord
that once was adored
has now been cut clean in two.
With the sharp knife
she took her life
what else was the girl to do?
If only she knew
of the things she would do
had she seen through all of the fog
that there is a reason
to every season
but first one must get through the bog.
There is a Light
that demons fight
as bright as the Light of day
this was the key
to the mystery
for it shows to you the way.
Now its too late
the terrible fate
that tonight I wrote unto you
You see the mistake
from the darkness awake
for the Son shines bright for you too!

Aww. I liked this one a lot too. It seems a lot of people try to look into the future to see what they can see. To see if the travel and pain is worth it, but they can't see the good that Could happen. This is very sad...But it shows how short someone can cause their own life to be. Great job.
