Bloody, Yet Beautiful

She lies awake, wishing it would end,
Romancing the thought of death.
Yet her chest still rises and falls,
And she draws in another breath.

She stares at the blank walls,
Remembering the gentle words sang,
No one knows of her hurt,
And behind her smile, lies her pain.

She opens her broken wings,
And dresses in tattered clothes.
Revealing her shattered dreams,
But consuming her hidden hopes.
