She

Sometimes she wonders

If she's ever been loved

If she's ever been happy

Or good enough

Sometimes she cries

When she's alone

When darkness falls

Upon her silent home

When she sees the scars

That won't seem to heal

She wonders will she know

How to live life for real

Some scars can't be seen

Old wounds still cause pain

Sometimes she welcomes

The freezing rain

He's on her mind

Sketched on her heart

He'll never know

How she's ripped apart

He said the sweetest thing

She didn't want to hear

He just left her standing there

Didn't care to be near

So she laughs through the pain

And she fakes a smile

She wears a mask

It's been with her a while

Sometimes she wonders

Where she has been

Lost in lonely haze

Can't get back again

Memories cut

Like a razor sharp edge

She can't stand to think 

The thoughts in her head

She walks the tightrope

Of reason and truth

And she hates the logic

Of what she must do

There's a little girl

Screaming out loud

Begging for forgiveness

Inside of her now
