​
Her hands gripped the sink
As her eyes slowly blinked
The tears fell down the drain
No wonder she didn't feel sane

Her heart thumped against her chest
And she couldn't catch her breath

Someone
She whispered
Please
As she was brought to her knees

Her prayers were never answered
Her cries were never heard

The words fell from her lips
Like bread crumbs to birds

One day
I'll be able to soar
One day
Her dry lips parted
Cracked to the core

I'll understand this world
This world will understand me
And maybe we will be able
To live together
In total harmony

Her eyes closed softly
Fluttering shut for good
And no one really cared

Did you really think
They would
