Sad Girl
Melissa S. Johnson |
Somewhere in the world a person is crying,
somewhere in her world her shattered soul is dying,
sometime in her future she gives up trying.
She sits by a broken window watching the rain,
the rain falls down just like her tears;
the storm in her soul rages~
as the storm rages on outside.
Her cries in the night go unheard & unanswered.
She is alone in a world of hatred;
everyone she once knew disappeared from her life, just like her hope.
She thinks about life & contemplates death,
she knows that things will only get worse.
As she stares into the lonely night she decides her own fate-
as a brilliant flash of lightning arcs thru the dark stormy sky she knows what she must do.
As a tear rolls down her face she slowly moves away from the window & reaches for the bottle on her bedstand.
She lights up a cigarette & takes in a deep lungful of the hot acrid smoke;
she slowly opens the bottle, trying to see thru her blinding tears.
As the thunder rumbles outside the window she tips the bottle up, & drinks down the contents.
She knows soon her pain will be over as she lies down on her bed & wipes the tears from her eyes.
Sad & alone she drifts in & out of consciousness, until the darkness finally envelopes her in its comfort;
as one final tear falls down.
