Thirteen

Someone keep her from the shadows
Fading out and hurting deep inside
Someone keep her from the fire
Burning hot but still her fingers seek
Too weak to weep
Too numb to speak
Too tired to sleep
And even though someone could see she’d still be far away and out of reach
Too far to reach
Something’s wrong she just can’t hide it
Spinning around and around inside her veins
Slit them open and it’s over
Left for others to try to wash the stains
Too weak to weep
Too numb to speak
Too tired to sleep
And even though someone could see she’d still be far away and out of reach
No one who cares no one
