she

She walks along this lonely street

no one to dry her tears

massage her tired feet

or calm ever present fears


Seeing life through tainted heart


making everything gray

Alone, her life, anew to start

Always searching for a way


But life goes on no matter what


That fact she cannot quell

Memories ne’er to be forgot

Within her heart they dwell


So she keeps walking this lonely street


Keeps searching to find her way

Every night she lies down to sleep

And prays tomorrow’s a better day
