Her red cup

Sits by the sink

With her personal

Razor

She has heard

The pleas

Yet they

Don't seem to reach her.

She writes

On her mirror.

The words

That really cut her.

Her hair

Used to shine.

But now it lies

As dull as its owner.

Her red wrists

Only remind her

Of the manacles

Of a prisoner.

Her eyes

Oh

How they plead for help

Yet the words

"I'm fine"

Escape from her lips.

Although

Her body may

Seem bruised

Yet alive

She was truly

Dead inside.
