She sits in quiet,
Each morning it’s painful,
She’ll get ready to live
Even though she’d rather die.
She changes her look,
Each day, it’s different,
She’ll do it for the boys,
Even though she wants to cry.
She downs the drink,
Each night it’s the same.
She’ll move on for show,
Even though she’s alone.
She stares off at nothing,
Each second she’s with anyone,
She’ll think of him,
Even though he left her behind.
She wishes at 11:11,
Each dark sky she does
She’ll wish and has hope
Even though he’s with another.
She sees him with the other,
Each hour she does,
She’ll feel the knife twist,
Even though she’s worth more
She laughs at their jokes,
Each moment it’s a lie,
She’ll be a flirt,
Even though he’s her only thought
She pretends to be just a friend
Each time he writes to her,
She’ll think it’s better than nothing
Even though she deserves his love.
She smiles at others,
Each minute she’s in a crowd,
She’ll have a good time,
Even though there’s pain on the inside.
She will smile, pretend, laugh, see, wish, stare, downs, change and sit,
Each minute, time, moment, hour, dark, second, night, day and morning.
She’ll do it for you,
Even though you don’t deserve it.
