Look At Her

by Red Charm   Apr 4, 2005


Look at her now
Sobbing on her floor
She never used to do this
Now she does it more

Look at her and how
She can't seem to understand
When she reaches out
There's no one to grab her hand

Look at her tears
The bloody ones trail down her arm
There's no one to help her
No one to save her from self harm

Look at her fears
Engulfing her til she's no more
They pour out in endless tears
Like they never did before

Look at her new knife
It should cut real deep
She'll use it to take her life away
That she doesn't want to keep.

Look at her there
You might think she's asleep
Dead to the world
This time the cut was too deep

Now if I make a few little changes look at what I reveal...

Look at me now
Sobbing on my floor
I never used to do this
Now I do it more

Look at me and how
I can't seem to understand
When I reach out
There's no one to grab my hand

Look at my tears
The bloody ones trail down my arm
There's no one to help me
No one to save me from self harm

Look at my fears
Engulfing me til I'm no more
They pour out in endless tears
Like they never did before

Look at my new knife
It should cut real deep
I'll use it to take my life away
That I don't want to keep.

Look at me there
You might think I'm asleep
Dead to the world
This time the cut was too deep

Sorry its so long. Please comment.

    Well written, the idea of changing it was good, I worked well, although very sad :*( I think enjoyed would be the right word, keep it up xxx
