she walked herself to a bridge

not too far out of town

the weight of her world 

dragging her down

trapped here on earth

hiding behind a smile

she had been feeling this way for a while

too small too weak

too far away 

from the person she was yesterday

she began to walk

knowing it was her time

up onto the bridge 

she started to climb

i saw a peace in her eyes

which i had never seen before

an indescribable, unexplainable peace

which made me want to save her even more

i watched

as the words they said

made the girl who loved life

wish she was dead

too much too soon,

too heavy, too fast

trying, wishing to escape

from her suffocating past

the wind picked up

about to blow her away

she decided she wanted to try

for just one more day 

just too see the stars

and how theyd glow that night

then she would continue

to carry on and fight

because stars shine

day after day

but there is only one of her

to be taken away
