[Threatening Fear]
You'll find her in the corner
With her head held in her hands
Her eyes are red and puffy
Body shaking; swollen glands
Her face is sopping wet
From bathing in her sorrow
Eyes are frozen, hoping
There will be no tomorrow
Lips are sealed, shaking
Breathing is very faint
Arms clenched tightly
Covered in sorrowful paint
Mind is racing, replaying
The last words that she said
Refusing food and water
She wants to be dead
Don't bother reaching out
She'll turn everything away
Regretting that simple word
She never wanted to say
Even standing from afar
You see she's beginning to decay
Due to a depressing statement
Her fear is taking way
Her body retreating into shock
Who knows what happens now
She knows she can make it stop
But doesn't know how
Scars upon her body
Memories from her past
Bleeding heart and broken bones
Who knows how long she'll last
Her mind and heart are spilling
With every tear she sheds
Thinking of all the could have's
Would have's, and instead's
All she can do is write
In hopes of lessening the pain
Day in and day out
Tears echoing the rain
Eventually she'll stand
Tears will finally dry
She'll face her threatening fear
That simple word: goodbye

Raindrops falling outside
Teardrops falling inside
The end of a day
What a journey we have shared
The roughest one for any pair
Resenting you mom for over half my life
Blaming you for the
Dark Mirror
Your tongue, the dagger that cut out my heart.
So many lies; soon truth became fiction and made me the villain
Sad Goodbye
Its a sad goodbye that I never got to say
A sad goodbye I had to say after you went away
I knew you were still
