Her balloon went flying in the air
and the young adorable little girl
went running after it.
She stopped in her tracks
and another little girl handed her the balloon
it was like looking in a mirror
In that split second
her hand was grabbed and she was whisked away to the car
without ever seeing the girl again.
You all know her
The harder you said you would never be her
seemed to be the easiest thing to fall into.
She shields her face
because the pain became unbearable
and at least this way the tears can’t ever fall.
She walks in darkness of the hallways
trying to figure out how she got here
and how to get out.
Every door is a dead-end
She trembles in fear
because she doesn’t know
the day, the time, the moment
Everything just seems to blend together
You all know her
you just talk about her differently to other people
while the whole time it was really you.
She lives in her own world
full of confusion,
questions left unanswered,
It feels like someone ripped her heart out with their bare hands.
She’s cried so many tears
and even they don’t have nowhere to go anymore.
She lives in her own world
alone
guarded
Blood isn’t suppose to betray you
that’s a hurt that can never be fixed
Alone with a man she hadn’t seen in over a decade
Who’s idea was that?
passed to someone else when he got tired
which was two weeks.
Alone, silent, not knowing what the next day held.
Calling shelters
to be on a waiting list.
Her body was frail
Frail like you could blow air on her and she would fall to the ground
frail like everything you eat you getting thinner and thinner.
When she called blood
they were too busy to talk
couldn’t take time out their day
She was gone for four years
came back and got treated worse than what she had become
accustomed to.
She will never be
the person she was before
that person is dead
and sometimes from the look of things she wished she was to.
She walks the hallways of darkness
each step she’s stepped a thousand of times
that she doesn’t have to reach or feel
to know she is going in the right direction
Her shoulders back, her head up.
she walks to the beat of her own runway
Each step she takes
she seems to end up
right back
at her first step
in the shadows
of rage
that she has learned how to survive
just for the sake of love.
She never danced in the dark
because she was always worried about somebody else.
She lived, and breathed his dream for so many years
that she started to hate herself. She might have known but there wasn’t
anything that you could tell her that would make her look the other way.
His life became her life
and when it was over she still somehow lived there.
Things change, People change, Hearts change
but the one thing that always remained was loyalty
She never danced in the dark
because her eyes were always closed
and her words sung a different tune
She was lost in a world
that was unfamiliar,
It was too loud to be silent
but through it all she always thought that it was going to stop.
She never danced in the dark
because she died one night
Her heart couldn’t take it anymore and it just stopped
Her body unidentified
and when someone gave her air
she was inside of a dance
that had no instructions .
she couldn’t tell if she was supposed to live or die
she doesn’t know why death was so close to her
why he just didn’t take her.
She never danced in the dark
because he never gave her a chance to come up for air
because when she realized it was a joke
it hurt her so bad
that she wished that it was her last breath
When she loves she loves hard
and this was a dance that she was never ready for
that it had so many steps, so many routines
that she tried to keep up and not get anything wrong.
She never danced in the dark
because when she opened her eyes
nobody was there.
