She wouldn’t

And as she slowly wipes her eyes,

All she can feel is pain inside.

Its getting much less now she can tell,

But only because numbness covers it up well.

She’s lost without a clue which way to go,

What can she do? What can she know?

No-one to turn to, no-one about,

No-one offering to help her out.

A girl with no knowledge what to do,

No-one even to offer her a clue.

She’s by herself and hates the thought,

She never expected it all for nought,

But this was a price she never expected to pay,

If she could go back now, she wouldn’t have done it that day.
