Two Evils


With tucked knees and dark cold eyes She's lonely and terrified of the hell she calls life No one can see how deep her pain lies The only escape is to reach for the sharp knife Long into the night her tears fall like dominoes The world sleeps while she suffers in hollow silence Two girls seek entertainment and she was what they chose Alone and helpless with not one sympathetic defense So she closes her eyes tightly and makes the final choice A small note and bottle rest near the bed Emotions now blank, pain disappears without a single noise The actions of two evils harrassing left this poor girl dead..
