Glittering eyes spark,
A smile so beautiful...

She sat on the stairs that led to the attic,
Her arms bandaged from another attempt...

There was a time when I said
That I was foolish...

Can you see the walls crumbling,
Hear the shrill screams...

Distant smiles tell of a moment
Where she is lost in a world...

Meanings behind my words are hidden
On the surface of my sore heart...

I am not sure how she did it,
How she could reassemble the monstrosity...

A smile lies forced upon my lips
No one sees how it takes its toll...

Footsteps fall
Through dark woods...

Dazzling lights shine;
Lost in her gentle gazes...

Heavenly murmurs of love put a smile on lips,
Ultimately, the absence of said words lingers and...

A faint smile is strung over quivering lips
Before her head hangs and she holds in a sob...
