Lifeless

She sits at a little window Her dark eyes staring over the horrizon Her arms are aching She clings to herself so much A single tear runs down her cheek The only evidence of pain that is shown Staring out the window she want A secret wanting that none can know She takes the knife beside her thigh And carves her name with the glass Twisting her wrist She gives a cry of pain Falling silent With a a soft thud she hits the floor Her dark eyes empty And the window is stained with blood.
