She Lays Alone In The Dark

***I started this one a while ago, and worked on it some more today, i'll come back and edit it later.***

She lays alone in the dark
Embedded in the tears streaming from her eyes
The razor beside her quivering body
Draped in the blood flowing through her ice cold veins
Her hands are blue and cold, holding the bottle of whiskey
This is not what she had imagined, not what she asked for
The wolves howl at the glistening moon
The clouds roll in and out of it's view
As she lays in the dark uncovered room
Every day, she falls farther and farther into the hole that they dug for her
Will today be the day that she finally takes the fall?
Hurtful words tormenting her inside
Breaking apart her heart, falling to her feet
She cries for help and no one comes
She screams in pain and no one hears
What she has done no one will know
She lays alone in the dark
Embedded in the tears streaming from her eyes.
