I Found Her...

I found her...
Where most would probably flee.
How did she get down here?
It's not a great place for us to be.

I found her...
She was hiding behind a smile,
Plastered there with practice,
It had been there for awhile.

I found her...
Fresh tears trickling from her eyes,
Heart beating slowly,
Fists clenched as she cries.

I found her...
She was lying there unmoving.
I try to pick her up
But that's a battle that I'm losing

I found her...
No strength or will in sight
Everyday gets harder
But she doesn't want to fight

I found her...
A sob with every breath
Depression winningly slowly
Half way to my own Death.
