all she can do

6/9/2011

she bought a big bed when she turned twenty-five
in hopes to one day share it with the love of her life
then one day she turned fifty-two
and woke to realize half her bed was still brand new

where did her time go?
how quickly her days went by
all she can do now is look back and cry

her heart never stopped beating
but she never felt alive
she spent thirty years trying
only to emotionally survive

where did her years go?
how lonely her days went by
all she can do now is lie...

she chose privacy and despised
being tied down
in reality always terrified that in her lonely
tears she would drown

where did her love go?
how quietly her feeling slipped by
all she can do now is lay down and die
