One Girl Alone
She's kind and good 
 And has all she ever wanted
 Then what are those thoughts 
 By which she is haunted?
 
 She stands by herself
 By the window sill
 Down her flawless cheeks, then
 The tears slowly spill. 
 
 Biting her lip, she forces herself
 Into a refuge land of wonder
 Though her dreams aren't real
 To her mind she mustn't surrender
 
 Losing herself in her silence
 She sinks to the marble floor
 Wishing, with her broken heart
 She'd find joy outside her door. 
 
 Her steps full of heavy despair
 She bravely walks on outside
 Amongst the bright daisies she finds
 Nowhere she can hide...
 
 A certain chill of emptiness
 Lingers in the air
 Gives the feeling something should be, 
 But isn't quite there.
 
 She feels the delicate softness 
 Of her dark hair down her back
 Finds it hard to make out
 What exactly she does lack. 
 
 Her eyes are staring upwards
 At the darkening sky
 Watching moments of shimmering dusk
 Slowly brush by
 
 Can't help wondering what seeds
 She has managed to sow
 That have reaped only
 Moments of sorrow
 
 As it falsely seemed to be
 Life it not so bright
 Now she struggles in the dark
 For a hope, a ray of light. 
 
 She has her chin on her knees
 Under a lone tree
 She finds only emptiness 
 As far as she can see
 
 A clear, sad melody of loneliness 
 Around her starts to ring
 Coming from her, and filling up
 This steadily darkening spring. 
 
 Her eyes closed and her skin damp
 She holds on to her song
 Hoping that, sometime soon, 
 A figure of happiness would come along...
