Anything to run away, she prays
"May today become my last"
No God within, the sirens fade
Silence screams into you
"I cannot continue to believe in myself
For I too descend"
So much greed and hunger
With all relief denied
Loved ones become hindrances
Discover what death really tastes like
Drowning in the embrace of alcohol
She pushes her way through the sky
The world turns a shade darker
"My eyes shut on that day
Opening to view a new world
Inhabitants all scabbed"
Silver rose to the surface
Opened eyes, providing necessary restraint
She became the soil; surrounded my roots
