If You Only Saw

She puts on a facade

Nobody ever see’s through

She puts on a facade

That hides all the wounds

Battlescars line the edges

New wounds reopen the message

A scare once faded

Becomes clearer with every lesson

A life once hopeful loses the battle

The light within

Once bright, now dull

Her eyes show it all

If you only saw

But the pain soon ends

As all is consumed

As darkness descends
