Alone in the dark
Ripped and torn apart
Beaten beyond repair
Lost in her despair

Tried picking up each broken piece
Quickly, she let her efforts cease
Silently, privately, she continues to suffer
Unbeknownst to even the closest of others

The former woman of her past
No longer does her smile last
The woman that she was before
She now deems lost for evermore

Empty eyes in an empty looking glass
Each thought slashing as does a cutlass
She begs, she pleads, she cries
Feels her heart painfully as it dies

And yet still, she gives a happy smile
Though she is breaking all the while
Tears flow freely down her face
Even still, she will tell you that she's okay
