Too no longer hide, but to fear.
He goes through it everyday
Every minute
She hears the words
Even the ones left unspoken
As he walks heads turn
Words are whispered ever so softly
She feels the stares
Knows the look of disgust upon their faces
He hides the bruises
Hides what they do
She uses it to get away
To feel free of them
Everyday brings more
Every step hurts
She use to have friends
They all left after they heard
He can't sleep
The nightmares always taunt him
She lives on the street
Parents disowned their "shame"
He can't take another day
This is it, he's done
She feels lost and alone
Doesn't want to continue
He's knows where to find it
To find that lethal escape
She grabs the cold steel
Feels it in her hands and knows what to do
He fills it feeling more sure than ever
Holds it to his chest knowing the end result
She places it in that sweet spot
The one that's sure to work
He wants to end the pain
The hate, the shame
She knows what to do
All she must do to end it
He feels the cold metal in his hand
Says one last goodbye and pulls the trigger
She finds the courage
Releases her demons, with the whisper of her goodbye
Two futures lost
Because of the hate
Two people never to see tomorrow
Because of the pain
Two names to be forgotten
Because no one cared.
