Don't tell me

She lies bleeding, broken
From a dream she was awoken
Lies are told, love has spoken
In its deadly, deathly tones

And so she dances to the rapture
And her heart has yet to capture
Twist and ache until a fracture
Shows within her aching bones

So she stood till she collapsed
And pain and torture was relapsed
And never has she felt more trapped
In her own breaking mind

Since she lost the will to bleed
And breathe and beat have lost the need
And only ghosts can take the lead
So she will walk on blind

So with shaking quivering lips
And darkness set to take eclipse
And with fragile hands she grips
Deaths hand in the darkness

Stepping forward she forgets
Loses the pain and never regrets
What her mind has failed to grip
Death comes for her, from life she will slip
