Mourning Skies

I knew a girl

I knew a girl

Who wrote and drew

She said it always

Got her through

I knew a girl

Who was always dying her hair

She was tall and smiled nicely

But wasn't always there

I knew a girl

Who was a lot like me

She smiled around her friends

But her scars you'd never see

I knew a girl

Who didn't eat a lot

She always said she ate before

But for skinniness she fought

I knew a girl

Who wore bracelets on her wrist

I did too, you see

Neither of us wanted to exist

I knew a girl

Who met me at my door

Tears ran down her cheeks

For the love that she longed for

I knew a girl

Who cried more that I'd admit

Because the boys she dated

Treated her like shit

I knew a girl

Who wanted to be dead

Her fate, I hate to say,

Still fills me with dread

I knew a girl

Who wrapped her lips around a gun

I knew a girl who was my world

My star, my moon, my sun
