Behind Her Eyes
Behind her eyes of laughter
was a never ending pain.
Of lost hope and desperation
No key could unchain.

So many people passed her by
Never giving her a second glace,
of what she felt within herself
Never giving her the chance.

So one day while she was sitting
Alone and by herself;
She wrote a note of sadness
And left it on the shelf.

It said, "I'm sorry Mom, so sorry.
WIll you please forgive me and tell
Me you're not sad?"

They ran to where she was lying
And there upon her bed,
Lay a body cold and restless...
Innocent, sweet...but dead.
