Dull orbs of green Stare back from reflective material Once vibrant fire cascaded down Now lackluster Once carefree and bright smiles Replaced by emptiness and frowns Darkness lurking in recesses Springs forth covering everything Thoughts trapped behind shutters to the soul As lids lift allowing a stagnant light to glimpse Dark and cold are blankets of warmth Vibrant color so drab Voices, smiles, laughter, light Silent, empty, tears, pain Arms reach out Attempting to break through Feeling the vice grip Slivers of feeling enter Screams bounce off just below the skull Anguish read in the sea of green Wanting desperately to break free She can feel the anguish smothering Sleep the escape Wakened to more agony Pills said to be the answer Day in day out More added to the regimen No change in the mirror Dreams the escape Life the prison Tell me how you feel Visions of blades gauging flesh Red floods the scene Such warmth surrounds briefly Suddenly very cold No one thought to understand Pills withdrawn Voices no more Lying in the poppies Eyes dull and lifeless Feelings gone Peaceful rest at last The fight long gone Stark white sheet beneath the cold black bag

Near the End
Dull orbs of green Stare back from reflective material Once vibrant fire cascaded down Now lackluster Once carefree and bright smiles Replaced by emptiness and frowns Darkness lurking in recesses Springs forth covering everything Thoughts trapped behind shutters to the soul As lids lift allowing a stagnant light to glimpse Dark and cold are blankets of warmth Vibrant color so drab Voices, smiles, laughter, light Silent, empty, tears, pain Arms reach out Attempting to break through Feeling the vice grip Slivers of feeling enter Screams bounce off just below the skull Anguish read in the sea of green Wanting desperately to break free She can feel the anguish smothering Sleep the escape Wakened to more agony Pills said to be the answer Day in day out More added to the regimen No change in the mirror Dreams the escape Life the prison Tell me how you feel Visions of blades gauging flesh Red floods the scene Such warmth surrounds briefly Suddenly very cold No one thought to understand Pills withdrawn Voices no more Lying in the poppies Eyes dull and lifeless Feelings gone Peaceful rest at last The fight long gone Stark white sheet beneath the cold black bag
