Skin stretched across her face,
Eyes caved in...

The tears roll down.
heartbeat racing...

I cry...
and no one sees...

I've been told that it gets better,
that after so many loses...

Growing up I was told these words:
You're special...

My body can no longer hold such pain
Endure such suffering...

The infernos of hell.
And the light that brings hope...

I thought I finally healed...
I thought I was finally free...

She likes him.
He likes her...

Almost a year since that day
When the phone rang...

We each carry our own stories
Of how life has beaten us...

I miss you
I long to see you...
