She has smoke on her breath

A bottle at her lips

And a heart of stone

Looking in the mirror

The tears freely falling

She curses God

She has only one question left

'Dear cruel world' she scrawls on a paper

Thinking of everything that has led her to this

Tears and ink cover the page

As she looks at the last bleary, single written word that's plagued her

'Why?'

There's a bang of a gun

Then a sickening silence

And she'll never get her answer now
