She watched
A girl she once knew
There was a time where the girl would
Fill everyone with joy
Her eyes bright
And her smile, oh her smile
Such a beautiful sight

She watched
A girl she once knew
There was a time where the girl would
Laugh because of silly mistakes
Her eyes bright
And her smile, oh her smile
Such a beautiful sight

She watched
A girl she once knew
There was a time where the girl would
Walk up to everyone and just talk
Her eyes bright
And her smile, as always
A beautiful sight

They turned their back

She watched.
The girl she once knew.
Standing in front of her mirror

She watched.

Her eyes no longer bright
Her smile no longer
A beautiful sight

Dull and forced.

She watched
The girl she once knew

And turned her back.

Tattooed on my skin
Are the rose petals of my sins

The words written across my breast
Like the one under my chest
Are the ones that mean the most

The story I will never tell
Which was always in a shell
Is now inked on me
Revealing my deepest secrets
Dark as a black sea

My body
My own canvas
A personal way
To process

An Art
Like mine
So raw
Like fresh scars
As deep
As the pain in my chest

Tattooed on my skin
Are the rose petals of my sins

The story I will never tell
Which was always in a shell
Is now inked on me
So sad
Like a Willow tree
