With Daggers Through Her Heart She Cries

It never stops raining. With daggers sewn through her heart she cries. Filled with
confusion she cries. "No one can help me until I can help myself. And I can't help
myself." Frozen throughout, exposing broken skin. One week, one more week. She can't take
anymore burning in her mind. "Why can't I sever your head, why can't I sever your memory?"
The image burned through her eyes has made it on to the mirror. Broken glass reflecting on
the shards of the past. Force fed memories walking on tacks, please pull the knife fight
out of my back and I'll pull the knife out of yours. "You can't stop the rain", she says.
"You can't stop the rain"

I hope you're past this knot of feeling now. Things get better, always. Ormond
