Each night she cried
herself to sleep.
She weeps because
the pain she goes through
each day tares her apart.
She fears to show her feelings.
She doesn't want them
to see her pain.
For then they'll know
they broke her.
She projects happiness.
She is really dying inside.
Days get harder and longer.
She has no one.
She needs someone.
In her dreams each night,
she dreams of someone
that holds her tight.
That is there to comfort her.
That has no intent to hurt her.
She has his image in your mind,
each day as she goes out into the world
with those people that try to brake her.
She looks for him in the crowd.
She looks each day.
She dreams about finding him every night.
She tries and tries.
Things get worse.
She starts breaking down.
In front of those who harm her.
Her positive attitude diminishes.
On night she takes a pill.
She thinks, "Now I'll dream forever."
She slips away as she dreams
of him holding her tight.
As he is holding her,
he says, "Now we will be together forever."
