Helpless Lives

by Cathy   Apr 17, 2007


Broken hearts, shattered dreams
endless sorrows is what it seems
tragedy strikes the lives of everyday
leaving people helpless, with the only thing to do is pray

No more smiles only tears and frowns
something horrible happens, without the warning of a sound
People running trying to get away from this torment
but no matter how fast they run theres no escaping the evil sent

Horrid screams fill the air
lifeless body's in the open stairs
Blood now shown and stained upon the walls
People wounded trying not to fall

Such a horrible sight lay ed upon innocence
no shield in front of them to help with their defense
Only shadows of darkness cast upon their lives
leaving them to struggle with the strength to survive
