when you look into her eyes

she's hurting deep inside
when you look into her eyes
can you see the hurt and pain
she lives with every day

she tries to run away from the lies
that seem to control her life
remembrances of her friends suicides
will never leave her side

it seems to her like people are dying
each and every day
thoughts of her own suicide
have even crossed her mind

she's living in the fear
of falling back again
she cries as she can't and won't
go down that road again

she's lost so many people already
and caused so much hurt and pain
she wishes she could make it all go away
erase the worlds pain

when you ask her what she's running from
she'll say she's running from herself
she's searching for someone or something
that will let her be herself

she want's someone to be there for her
to hold her while she cries
someone to say they love her
hold her as she closes her eyes

it took a lot for her to realize
that she still needs help
someone asked her what was wrong
and the words she wrote i quote

"i can't get away
from these thoughts inside my head
they just won't go away"
she writes, she's trying not to cry

she's trying to stay strong
for everybody else
but deep inside she'll realize
she needs to be strong for herself

she's holding on by her last thread
wanting to be free again
she's going to hold on to that
until the very end

so someone stop her from falling
or catch her as she falls
promise to always be there for her
she just needs to be held

she's fought so many battles
and won so many wars
you can still see the battle scars
placed upon her arms

they've faded over the years
but the memories shall remain the same
it's a miracle she's still surviving
while she's in so much pain

don't let go of the one thing
you've always wanted to hold on to
you never know when a miracle
just might come your way

when you find the one you love
hold them tight in your arms
never let them go
tell them that you love them before it gets too late

so if you love her tell her now
don't just let her fade away
she needs to know she's still capable
still capable of being loved

so grasp her and hold on to her
hold her while she cries
but never forget all these things
when you look into her eyes
