To Write Love On Her Arms

Long sleeve shirts everyday at school With no friends she meets Home she goes when it lets out No conversations in the streets No phone calls from girlfriends No boys to think about Nothing to distract her From what she thinks about The red that runs down her wrist The tears that run from her eyes The screams she yells in her head The longing that she can't deny The feelings of loneliness And the pain she's had for so long Leaves her longing to end it Thinking that no one cares at all The beautiful tragic markings She leaves up and down her arms She never let anyone see How she causes herself harm But someone cares enough to look Someone cares enough to see The pain she going through And the beauty that she could be With the love and help of another She'll no longer cause herself harm She has someone to hold her tight Someone to write love on her arms
