Nov 2014
No one can say she didn’t try
She struggled against his current
Yet true to her self
She struggled against his current
Yet true to herself

She dreamed and she loved
She dreamed and she learned
And she held nothing back
But she couldn’t make him love her

Some people can’t simply throw it in
But the lonely hearts sing straight to heaven
Their stomach’s filled with weight of dead butterflies
Take me as I am
She stilled tried

Broken and bruised,
moving from one to the other
She's lost herself
Cannot find another
She sits and watches through the eyes of another
Hoping to one day, be like the others
