She tried to get away
But there was nowhere left to run
She tried to pull herself together
She'd already come undone
The wall she'd built around her soul
Exploded into dust
Burying her in deep regret
That she had dared to trust
And when she looked into his eyes
She knew that she was lost
She'd given him her everything
And then she paid the cost
He'd told her that he loved her
She dared to believe
Then he left her broken
Buried, bleeding like a sieve
So when the darkness came at night
As she lay in her empty bed
She'd given him her zest for life
Which he stabbed and left for dead
She gathered rocks around her
And the dust; she took it all
Tempered it with steel regret
She then rebuilt her wall.
