Her words were
lipstick coated
covered, smothered by a rose coloured parka

And her heart was
wearing Prada
beguiling, smiling on the cover of Vogue

And her eyes were
drenched in beauty
rushing, gushing down both cheeks

And her tears
stained her face
with salt and sparkles.

She never slows down,
She doesn't know why but she knows that when
She's all alone
it feels like it's all
Falling down

She wants to be found,
The only way out is through everything
She's running from
Wants to give up
And lay down

She won't turn around,
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down

She won't make a sound,
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears
Whispering "If stands
She'll fall down"

Your tears will dry,
Your heart will mend,
Your scars will heal,
And you will **Dance Again

You're a fighter,
Got that fire,
When they thought you'd fade away.

Hold a fist up,
As you get up,
Feeling stronger everyday.

A little girl, lonely and lost, draws pictures in the sand
Suddenly, a shadow of a little boy falls across her hand
His awkward smile endears him to her
His gentle words weld together
Until they draw in the sand, side by side
Laughing and smiling with care and with pride

But the girl is still lonely, the girl is still lost
The price of her heart comes with a cost
A single confession, on a white screen
Such a thing she could never have foreseen

The little girl tells a tale of sadness and woe
The little boy sits and listens to her lowest low
And then he has his own tale to tell
Of how an angel almost fell

A not-so-little girl, lonely and lost, draws pictures in the sand
Next to a not-so-little boy, with a quivering hand
The hand she takes and folds into her own
At last, she knows, she is not alone
