She sighs
At the threshold of darkness
Taking sips of cold sadness
Looking for the lost warmth of gladness
She cries
For a lost tomorrow
Heart heavy with sorrow
Hiding beneath the depths of a shadow
She slides
Into the limitless pits of despair
Wings of courage torn beyond repair
Whispering a final breath of prayer
She dies
Defeated in a battle with depression
Heart shattered to a million fragments
Taking the hand of sweet cessation
