free verse
Darkness in her heart
Ashadow in her eyes
Every night she feels alone
Every night she cries
So close to everyone
Yet distance far away
She waits for things to brighten
For night to turn to day
But change never hits
The darkness just grows
The voices of the ones she loved
merely become echoes
Living on a hopeless path
With no relieving end
No one can understand
This path allows no friend
So she walks and walks searching
For the savior to her cries
To save her from the darkness
And the shadow in her eyes
But no one can see
No one even tries
So she decides to save herself
And forever close her eyes
