Trapped in her own mind

Madness, one of a kind

Sobs, pleas, and screams

Nightmares haunt her dreams

A woman, a child no longer

Her ordeals don't make her stronger

Happiness, innocence, memories fade

Blending into shades of grey

A tortured soul with hollowed eyes

Her life consists of clever lies

Which come back to bite her in the end

A shattered heart, too late to mend

Every second, a battle of wills

Until one day, her heartbeat stills

Her life flashes through her view

Anguished memories, all save a few

A land of white, warmth, and life

There she finds no pain nor strife

A happy ending for a bitter soul

Bright flames alight eyes of coal
