Silence

I have lived in silence too long
Can anyone see it?
...

Stranger

Sad eyes light up when we walk in
Aged lightning blue eyes search
...

NEVER SAY NEVER
Her voice breaks on a complaint
She was furiously mad and yet she wanted to plant a sweet kiss on him
She watched him yell enraged
...

Sadness is like the bones, holding the insides together
Happiness doesn't exist
Cutting my wrists is like a summer day
My sanity is like an old forgotten dog
...

Baby it's you
Who I think about every second
Baby it's you
Who I want to touch every moment
...

She spent her life worrying over everyone
She spent her days trying to get her kids the life they wanted
She spent her nights trying to convince her husband not to leave
She tried everything
...

What happened to everyone just wanting peace? Not starting wars with your allies
What happend to make having a child a burden? Not a blessing
What happened to us being together? Not against one another
What happened to 'Live for Life'? Not 'Live for Death'
...

The whole scene is perfect:
Blood everywhere
Hand prints on the wall
Body in the back yard, burning on the stake
...

She lies to her parents to protect her guilt
She lies to her boyfriend to protect their relationship
She lies to her friends to protect her sanity
She lies to herself to protect her innocence
...
