Solace

In those eyes was the pain and deceit of everyone she ever loved,

just small reminders that life was a cruel joke, and everyone lived by their own rules.

Yet, she stood for love and innocence despite the emptiness she began to feel.

And although she unsuccessfully searched the nighttime sky for answers hidden amongst the stars,

she found solace as the blade ran down her arm and the pain started to seem less real.

She then drifted off to sleep in hazy remembrance of a time when her smile shone brighter than the sun,

and for once she need not pray that the pain would finally heal.
