Worth

She never really got to know her worth, Because their envy dimmed her light. They never let her forget the hurt, She says "you don't know what it's like". With forced laughter and broken smiles, She would get through another day. She fought to know who was worth her while, And through the tears still tried to pray. Don't you get, so close to that edge, It's far too deep, of a cut to mend, I swear you won't, be lonely again, She's so close, so close to that edge. She saw a boy she knew to spark her light, But never let him know it was real. When they pass he sees the broken smiles, And knows exactly how she feels. They should've known never to forget, That when they're feeling in the dark, Not to worry, those who feed off your pain, Are just jealous of what they aren't. Don't you get, so close to that edge, It's far too deep, of a cut to mend, I swear you won't, be lonely again, They're so Damn close, so close to that edge.
