Tears of the night fall swiftly down
Each one cold against warm cheeks.
Through silence, sobs are heard
Soft as darkness takes ahold.
Consuming the heart of the dispaired
Eating away the gold and pure.
Who once walked with a joyful stride,
Now shuffles along with a heavy step.
Who once stood with head held high
Now hides at the sight of strangers.
Who laughed as loud as a ringing bell,
Now silently cries with each hurrah.
Sick to the stomach at unsightly scars
Glance away from the mirror
Run at the sight of the reflection
Walk the earth with one thought:
One wring move will end a life.
