Survival
Location
Love was all she longed for,
all she needed.
She didn't believe in it
because she had never seen it.
And what she thought,
that it couldn't be real.
She didn't show or reveal
so she didn't begin to heal.
Her strings are cut
Her mind is broken.
Her pillow lay, tears soaked in.
Her heart's a balloon with needles poked in.
She endures each day
but she feels dead inside.
She fakes the happiness in her eyes.
Someone help... she won't survive.
