There stood an old woman with so many

girls that were on her wall that were just hanging there

among the dust , in different ages poses expressions

in different times in different parts of the world

Here are the pieces of her family who she once knew

but can't recall why it took a long time to reach out for their help before

she ended up like a rat within these padded walls and how much she long for to be free to be chain like an animal that killed them but instead she was a hero a friend they never believe her story how her boyfriend Joe had killed them without her knowing

while she slept in dreamland peaceful on that thanksgiving eve

blood filled screams that all she heard before everything when black

then she woke up with a knife

and a metal jacket in a cell

trying to yell out I didn't do anything

but sleep

Now her family is dead and Joe got away

and she can't rewind time

but stay there feeling like she lost somehow

never to rewind again that moment before everything went to hell.
