Eternal Peace

to know this pain
is to know a thousand deaths
a story once told
the story of she
a small girl 
cradled in a corner
single tears shed revealing the pain unseen

cries unheard through these empty halls
a young girl alone once again and forever
the promises of change where made
but they never came
hope and happiness lost at such a young age
a gentle touch 
could it be change finally made
a soft whisper to sooth the pain
"it is time"

could it be a savior found within this haze
or just a hallucination within this daze
with his touch comes the promises of tranquility 
"it is time"

"For"
is all she can say
His immortal whisper is the key to her serenity
"suicide"
