She stays awake all night fighting her demons away.
Only wishing she had someone who wanted to stay.
She plays tic tac toe on her arm.
Trying to stay away from self harm.
Her night is long to many hours to pass away.
But today she is okay.
She concentrates on what could be her last night.
Every day is one big fight.
She loses grip to reality every now and then.
Not interested in those fast timing men.
Her illness brings her to a place that nobody would ever understand
As she falls, he holds out his hands.
Now, she wipes her last fallen tears.
The ones he brought to her, over the years.
No escaping, what she dreaded to do.
A long lost love, proven to be untrue.
Where will love take her, if she loses her mind
To a dark, place nobody will ever find.
She dreads the fears of being alone.
This is her secret, it's hers to own.
