The Lost Girl

There was once a girl who loved and embraced life she smiled even in sorrow but her smiles were always borrowed But nobody seemed to notice that there was anything wrong at all In this tiny town she used to call home is all foreign now She used to have no enemies but now she has many its not the ones who harass her or threaten her, though it's the lonely girl sitting within her There's a lonely girl inside of her fooling people so they may see just how brave she may be speaking of only happiness despite all the hurt within But all alone is where the danger lay as she's sprawled on her bedroom floor with pills in one hand and a blade in the other there are some battles that can't be fought So she cried, cried for another day a day to feel loved once more she cried, cried for another hour one more hour to say she was sorry but it was too late.
