There is an inexplicable sadness in her eyes
And a depth to her heart, she herself denies
Does she know that she is not alone?
In this path that she has chosen so clearly
Does she know you'll humor her,
And manage to say what would entertain a few?
She walks along a clear path to oblivion
Hiding in the shadows of her fears and tears
Hoping that the sun will not find her
She fears those demons who haunt her at day
And let her be in the dark, only she can see
She holds hands with a man she created inside
Her mind, for he smiles for her only
He cries no tears and dries hers with kisses
For she was alone far too long.
No one heard her heart break and tear away
All that she held so close to it
But they saw her smile, and walked on by
Even though the shadows under her eyes
Darkened and the light in her eyes dimmed.
Is she not worth a second glance?
Or has everyone forgotten how to look and really see?
Whatever the reason, it is too late
As she walks away, holding the hand of a man
Who has never known of existance, or of life.
