She Said

She said she was fine,

But it was oh, such a lie.

I knew that in truth

She just wanted to die.

She said she was happy

But I saw how she cried.

Every day, so alone

She'd sit sadly and sigh.

She said she was clean

But I saw the scars

That marred the skin

Up and down her arms.

And try to help though I may

She chose to whither away.

With such pain and misery

She sought not to stay.
