The Price Is Paid

Sometimes she looks at you
And wonders if she could find a clue
To work out what she had done to
Deserve all you have put her through

Her friends don't seem to stick around,
Once a 'best friend' is now an enemy;
Will that happen with every one of them?
Will the cause always be jealousy?

Her past should be over and done with,
And she tries to forget and never miss;
Why do you bring it back and punish her?
Why do you force her to reminisce?

Her sufferings deep, engraved a mile
She thinks to weep, but yet she smiles,
Believes it is not you, but just a trial
Tries to make every moment worthwhile

However hard she tries it always comes back
The need to run-away and flee to freedom
Of her mind and soul, she seems to lose track
And happiness appears to reach her seldom

When she sits down and thinks of you,
Watching you running, she enjoys the sight.
But not of all that you put her through;
Wanting you to be over, relishing in your flight

Sometimes when she looks at you
She wonders if she could find a clue
To work out what she had done to
Deserve all you have put her through

Maybe it's because she is herself,
Have you picked her from all the rest?
Why do you think she deserves this pain?
So that she makes believe it's all a test?

Though the scars may fade, from contact with the blade,
It is deep they have grazed, in the heart they've laid.
And the marks they've made, with tears they are weighed,
Where they began, they have stayed. This is the price she has paid.
