all alone in her room
with no-one to listen
no-one's shoulder to cry on
she sits there
waiting
crying
thinking
hoping
longing
dying
no-one understands
every one tells her to grow up and forget
they hate her for going on about him
she hates herself for losing him
she wishes he knew
she didn't know what to say
and she didn't know any way
there's no light at the end of the tunnel j
ust a bridge she has to burn
then one day she gets
up and goes out
out of her prison
that she created for herself
and when she's alone outside in the world
she see's some one
they see her
they look at each
other as they stand still
every one moving around them
they just stare
stare into the nothingness in the others eyes
he see's despair, pain and hurt
she see's love, comfort and hope
some one walked rushedly by pushing her over
she can't get up
the pain is all rushing back
she see's no point to life
then as she kneel's
a pair of feet appear in her sight
who is this
he kneel's down too
but she won't look at him
she doesn't want to get hurt again
she fears it could kill her
her hair has fallen over her eyes
he puts down his shopping beside him
then he opens his mouth to say some thing
but then close's it not knowing what to say
so instead he moves the hair from her eyes
places his hand under her chin
and gently lifts her head
to see her eyes
he smiles she moves her head away,
his smile fades
her head turns to the street
her eyes land on a couple
they look so happy just to be together
again she looks into his eyes
he smiles, she trys
she thinks to herself, if i let you in,
don't hurt me
i've been hurt too many times before
and i can't take any more pain in my life
she's not the type of girl to let a man help her off her feet
not any more
not after all the heartache and heartbreak she's been through
she see's his loving look
he shows her he won't hurt her
she's not sure
up he rises
streches out a hand
waits
nothing
he looks sadened
she feels its her fault
them a smile half forms on her face
out his arm goes once more
she gladly takes it
he glady helps her up to her feet
they look at each other again
wondering what lies beneth the surface of their skin
what is under all the hurt
all the suffering
