Darkness swirled around her mind,
Where no one else could see.
A hectic storm of lust and loathing,
Yet she couldn't seem to scream.
No one realised how hard it was,
To get up each day.
She cried and broke but finally told,
Someone who said they'd stay.
She told them of the night sky,
That filled her mind at noon.
"Imagine it without all the stars,
And take away that beautiful moon."
The sky was completely empty,
Nothing but darkness left.
And the tiredness from staying up all night,
As she hadn't really slept.
That was the life she lived,
But they could not understand.
So in confusion they walked away,
And left her lost and damned.
Left alone with nothing but war,
She was trapped in her mind.
No one bothered to think it through,
And because of that she died.
