The Dead Life

A door opens,
A girl walks out,
You can see it,
There'll be no words from her mouth.

See her fear,
Hear her sign of sorrow,
See the way she fights it,
Just to make it to tomorrow.

See the things he took,
Shattered her like broken glass,
See the scars and bruises,
Hints of a broken past.

The blood's been staunched,
The wounds have closed,
But it still haunts her,
Though no one knows.

The tears have been wiped,
The scars have been healed,
The screams have been stopped,
Her lips have been sealed.

People may wonder,
But her mind has been set,
People won't ask,
They know answers they'll get.

She built walls,
And let no one through,
It's a risk to let someone in,
She knows what he'd do.

Maybe once, she tried,
And he left her destroyed,
That situation,
She'd much rather avoid.

Then one night,
She decided to pay the cost,
She pushed him off her,
Told him to get lost.

She told him no,
Then left herself to fate,
When someone heard,
It was much too late.

There'll be no goodbyes,
Just her name on a stone,
And just like always,
She's on her own.

She was so quiet,
In a world so loud,
He may have pushed her, 
But she's flying now.
