She Writes Fear In Her Arms

She Writes Fear Into Her Arms
Fear written in her arms in the form of scars over each blue vein
A cry out into the dark as the last sliver of hope drips the drain
What was once a something so small, only a simple game,
Now fills each breath she takes with fear, with sorrow, with shame
Long sleeve shirts and jackets cover her pale skin
She should have known not to play a game that she could not win
She was the girl who held so much, she was the girl who had it all
And now we all watch as her dreams began to break, and she begins to fall
Maybe if this was a day, not to long ago,
Someone would be there to catch her, to end her little show
But now she has no friends; she has no alibis
Now she sits alone when she is scared or when she lies down and cries
She tries to drown out the sound of each and every day
She tries to make herself believe that things might be okay
She is drowning in a see of pain, and no one is there to save her
This little girl, so caught up in lies, just may be gone forever
