there she sat, drowning in inky tears;
masked faces, eyes that blatantly pierce;
all her pride faded to nothing;
no one came to ease her suffering.

why, oh why did you not help?
she's drowning! breathing no air;
hypocrites dancing in lace;
all her pride thrown in haste.

they frolicked on the laces with her blood stains;
her lacerated flesh their sadistic gain;
give her pity, give her relief;
they'd help her, her previous belief.

alas, none have given - none have come;
alone she was, alone undone;
she sat there, drowning in self-pity;
a hidden war unsolved by any treaty.
