One year ago you were a little girl,
And so you may still be...
I’m slowly dying,
Burning up from the inside out...
Sometimes,
I think of the dreams I never had...
Drowsily I open my eyes,
I wipe the sweat from my face...
Shut out the sun,
Lock away the day...
I really should stop cutting,
I should cease the self-harm...
I saw your face,
Walk out from the shade...
She’s lying on her hospital bed,
Stuck inside her silent head...
Just say when,
And I’ll pull the trigger...
The summer nights bear down again,
The shadows hiding the secret pain...
The presents are un-wrapped,
The paper thrown away...
She is the one,
The one for you...
