There sits the girl with the things in her eyes

Monsters, destruction, and sweet butterflies

Hopscotch and daisies, surrounded by screams

Beautiful dresses now torn at the seams

Crayons and paintbrushes, villains and grins

Young, gladsome innocence, hatred and sins

Little red houses on roads left to fade

Gorgeous moonlight shining off of the blade

Blood pouring out as she cries her own name

Knowing she's forced to take each bit of blame

She could have stopped it and left it behind

All of these things in her troubled young mind

She could have saved them if she dared to try

Rather, though, she left herself there to die.

Now, others watch as she sits on the ground

Keeping their distance and letting her drown

In her own worries and things she won't tell

Waiting for her mind to kill her as well…
