Emily

Speaking only with her eyes
Hoping someone will hear her silent cries
But she can’t scream,
She just wants to leave

Drawing signs on her wrists
The only way to take this risk to wake the world
Eleven years of this
No one knows that she exists


*She’s falling faster/ long before her
father knows the pain, just before she fades away
Drifting farther/closer to the edge
Of the only means /to run away from this.

Everybody’s smiling now
They couldn’t understand her pain that speaks so loud
But she can’t leave this
Something about this thing they call love.
