~
Awash in the shadows
Unknown disbelief
Her smiled reminders
No sign of relief
The message she's holding
Clutched tight in her hand
Escapes from the nightmare
She can't understand
Where love hides the promise
Now kept all alone
With tears slowly forming
If only she'd known
The stains on the mirror
Paint lines on her face
Replaced by the sorrow
Her heart now does trace
Her dreams of forever
Now long to be kissed
The feel of the razor
Held tight to her wrist
The pain burns a' fire
Her life, what the cost
With nothing remaining
Of what she has lost
She stares to the heavens
And pleads for a sign
Her heart it has broken
The very last time
Does she or doesn't she
Only she knows
With darkness engulfing
A long shadow grows
