Nobody's home.

The Sun didn't rise today, neither at dusk did it set
It is her heart that drowns in the darkness of night instead.
A familiar stroking hand now misses from her head.
No moment of peace.

No smiles, nobody home to go back to.
No joy, no sense of belonging anyone to.
No shoulder, no lap to pour her heart out to.
No one to put her at ease.

She knew it was wrong, that she should change,
She knew she should cut off those balls and chains.
She couldn't take the hurt over and over again.
But unnoticed passed all the hints

They wished she would,
She wished she could,
She knew she should,
But didn't.

There is loneliness, there is hurt,
All the pain, and the harshness curt.
With all that's happened, lessons learnt.
Her faith fails.

Surrounded by prosaic faces,alone in the crowd.
Blank faces, blank eyes,pragmatic and so proud
Nothing to just, for a while, her sadness shroud.
Isolation prevails.

The incompleteness, the failures put her to shame
Every mistake, every fault, everything-she's to blame
The life she dreamt of crashes,and burns,and fades.
Cue for an exit.

Crippled, injured;there is too much pain inside,
Insecure, unsure,there is way too much to fight.
She saw it at the end, and so she walked into the light.
And that was it.
