She doesn’t speak when you ask her to talk.<\/p>\n
She won’t take one step if you asked her to walk.<\/p>\n
Her eyes would never catch yours.<\/p>\n
She’d not want to touch you whatever the cause.<\/p>\n
She’s hurting and broken and thinks you forgot her,<\/p>\n
She thinks badly about herself and would sooner be…not her.<\/p>\n
She doesn’t know which words to choose, so she doesn’t deign to choose,<\/p>\n
She feels like a loser, she’s confused, her heart is broken and bruised.<\/p>\n
The reason for this, she would never tell.<\/p>\n
Her agony, her problem, her darkness, her hell.<\/p>\n
She hides it, stuffed into the nighttime, but she won’t weep even then.<\/p>\n
Even though the movie of it replays over and over and over again.<\/p>\n
She’s hurting and broken and thinks you forgot her,<\/p>\n
She thinks badly about herself and would sooner be…not her.<\/p>\n
She doesn’t know which words to choose, so she doesn’t deign to choose,<\/p>\n
She feels like a loser, she’s confused, her heart is broken and bruised.<\/p>\n
If you wanted her to let you in, you’d be mistaken.<\/p>\n
She’s not been the same since her innocence was taken.<\/p>\n
There’s nothing for her, she thinks she’s already in hell.<\/p>\n
And though she won’t say it, you can already tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
