Lag Behind

These walls they crawl and climb
Bending and breaking in and out
Turning to show the way out is really only the way in
How can this be so easy
What makes everything so hard
The blood pools in a dead girls eyes
They walk on by
She tried to stand
Beaten down
Her heart ripped out to show the world that she had one
So battered
So cherished
So worthless yet priceless she was
It wasn't supposed to go like this
No one was supposed to get hurt
Thats life
Thats breathing
Thats dying
Cuts coat transparent skin
Bones no longer hidden
Wishes were granted
It was that damned red ribbon
Broke her soul
Broke her heart
Never enough
Always working
Striving
Hurting and killing
How sinful she was
Bare skin on skin dancing with strange men
How dare she ever give herself up over and over again
THeir smiles were her reward
And yet they hurt her so
Tainted innocence so strong and pure
The Lies pour from her mouth
Always okay
Always happy
Chipper was the most evil word of them all
Blind all so blind
She would have the last laugh
Leaving them all behind
