Fading Life

Her skin had become the canvas for the unmarked pain The color of red dripping across her wrists covering that of a tears stain Losing sight of everything she has lived for Standing there knocking on deaths door Begging pleading for him to let her in Stating her heart can’t stay in this world of mortal sin The fact is she had been feeling this way for a while And no one noticed in her phase of denial She stood there each day in front of the the people who said they cared Slowly fading away as they just watched and stared Standing there watching her as she pushed herself beyond her limits Everyone preaches rules that no one implements All it took was for one inconvenience to the higher power And now her strength is what must tower When she stood there and tried to talk Her feelings is what they all would mock When it became to much for her to bare They all stood there with a confused glare They stated she never had mentioned it And now at their table is an empty place to sit
