Lost Beneath Her Life

Sitting here is not a girl just a shell,
broken dreams and lost hopes thrown down the well.
dry eyes do not shed,
because inside theres no emotion she only dead.

Carefully picked lines she begins to speak,
nothing on this earth is there really anything to seek.
broken soul, and crumbling walls,
they just watch as she falls.

No movement not even a helping hand,
as she lays there beneath the sand.
covering her face with her hand she hears it breath,
she sits up to a sight she can not belive.

As she watches the figure she sees her mirrors image,
getting up slowly she starts to feel discouraged.
there before her is herself,
staring back at her full in health.

Your messing up, take control of your life,
smile though your hurt, get rid of your strife.
astonished by the words of the past,
everything goes black, shes falling again it's happening so fast.

She wakes up laying on the couch, screaming nein,
her hands are shaking she can't believe what she seen!
her phone rings, she looks down,
no name just a sound.

She answers hearing herself say,
that was just a warning, you best obey.
for life is to short to sit and die,
get up off the couch and learn to strive.

The phone clicked then there was silence,
what has her life become in her absence.
she thought about all her strife,
it wasn't much to get over, she wanted to live her life.
