Exhaustion overtakes her soul

Exhaustion overtakes her soul

She used to fight it and her demons

Yet lately she sees no reason, for life has taken toll

Sun shines so lovely and weather warmed so right

She found that smiles came and laughter trilled

Her heart fell and leapt slightly again

Yet his words still burned where they fell

Lonely and broken, she stands once again to face the world

The cruel world that stripped away her innocence and ***** her of pure joy

The world that held her up and dropped her, dropped her flat

Just as flat as her deflated lost heart

But yet, she fought on

And through this fight, she developed an unimagiable strength

Her smile still shone warm, her eyes always light

A new detemination urged her on

A new phase of her life

Yes life would be complete in his arms

Yet away from that protection is where she learned:

Life is cruel and painful but through the pain, beauty overtakes time and time again
