The bitter taste on her lips, as thick smoke ties a noose


the bone sticking out from her hips, all the weight she wants to loose


The hot blood drawn from a razor, the body wants to betray her


her bloodshot eyes, the high she feels


the terrible lies, it all reveals


all the long nights, sitting outside


sliced by cold wind that bites, thinking of dreams that died


the floor is so cold, while she lie and weep


but there she hold, falling in a pit so deep


an angel now comes, bringing the light


a soft song she hums, scaring away all the fright


"its okay" she assured, lifting the sorrow like a boulder


come with me, she lured, "you can always cry on my shoulder."


The broken put down her rope, she got to her feet


looked up for hope, "This is something I can beat."


a smile stretched across her face, the first one in an age


now in her happy place, she turns over a new page.
