Desperate Soul

All smiles on the outside
but a heart breaking on the inside

Parents telling her that she is worthless
Beatings are a daily thing

Long shirts and pants are worn
to keep the cuts and bruises secret
Silent tears fall at night

A dead heart and soul left to linger on
While the carcass slowly rots

She now becomes an angel of death
taking souls for her collection

Protecting all the others that were just like her

Adieu for now and nothing more
Whispers in the night
Shadows in the day
She lurks around for a place to stay
