The Book of Pain


She couldn't speak

She knew no words

No words to explian the pain

She knew no words

Nothing but anger and sadness

She didn't even know what to believe

 

Her heart was broken

She sat in blood

Her wrist was cut open

Her thighs tattered and torn

Her blood pooled on the floor

 

What happens next cannot be undone

The words they said cannot be unsaid

You hurt her to the core

She smiles on the outside but obviously she's not okay

She's gone now......

10 feet below the surface

 

She was only 16

She was too young

Too young for this pain

Too young for this sadness

But that doesn't matter

She's too far gone

She wrote her note in blood
