a poet with such basic prose
who's words are way too on the nose
has been through hell you'll never see
and struggles as she tries to breathe

but broken now she sheds her tears
she's tired from her many years
of dealing with the evil side
of life that makes her want to die

needles, knives and broken dreams
trauma, music, lost in screams
lines in flesh and lines in wax
another thing she can't take back

relapse, regret, and bleed it out
so many times now she's lost count
broken, beaten, ******, bruised
a kind heart that's been so abused

they watched her struggle for a while
before she turned and faked a smile
she made a joke, they laughed and sigh
they think she's fine, she wants to die

a promise made keeps her alive
until the day that will arrive
when lovers hold each other tight
to make it through another night

I'll stay alive for you my dear
I'll be right here, I'll face my fear
You make me better every day
I love you babe, I'm here to stay
