she laughed, her words like swords
tears of black ink down my cheeks
she walks away, long hair in the wind
i don't dare look back
i can't look back
not again, not again
...but i must
i turn, her hand extended
soft smile on her face
like a fool, i take it
praying for warmth, love, joy
i need love, joy
oh, god, please not again
not again
the sound of laughter fills my ears
bloody wrists and false hope
i cry out but no one can hear
please, oh please
not
again
