Run Away To Death

She ran away from all the pain,

With a shattered soul she would obtain,

Hated unwanted with nowhere to go,

She’d always she hurting but no one would know.

 

She tells herself her lives a mess,

She wants to sleep, eternally rest,

She wants to die sad and hurt,

She’s sick with the pain she can’t divert,

She wants away from all the lies,

She wants to live without stifling cries.

 

She can’t be happy when she’s alone,

She can’t stay where she has no home,

She can’t go back without memories,

She can’t show the scars when no one sees,

She can’t be loved when she hides it away,

She’s misunderstood so she never can stay.

 

She wasn’t afraid when she drew her last breath

She had found her escape, her cure was death,

She won’t be remembered and she won’t be missed,

So please if you would listen to this.

 

Look for a grave unmarked and unknown,

And remember this girl; she’s found her home.
