Rope Ends |
Another day of emptiness |
This life is wearing her down |
The room around her is a mess |
Her children safe with her mom |
She is still young but feeling old |
Two children with different fathers |
She sits on the bathroom floor alone |
The shower chain broke, her neck hurts |
Then another night of emptiness to wear her down |
Naked to the world she wraps her sadness in a gown |
Her children fast asleep she sears the dark with glassy eyes |
Choosing carefully among her husband’s business ties |
«Over!» |
she cries through rope ends and silk ties |
Beautiful life escaping her young blue eyes |
«Over!» |
she cries (But life holds her hands) |
Through rope ends and silk ties (Refusing to let go) |
Beautiful life (Leaving her breathing) |
Escaping her young blue eyes (On the floor) |
They’re still asleep don’t hear her cry |
And she’s still obsessed with rope ends |
This time she picks a stronger tie |
With Winnie the Pooh and friends |
She is still young but feeling old |
A child dying to be a mother |
Now she hangs from the ceiling all alone |
All pressure is falling from her |
Seeing guilt has taught her guilt she’s raised on disbelief |
Merely twenty beautiful but with a taste for grief |
She has learnt all that there is to know about hopelessness |
Seeing that no effort in this world can stand her test |
«Over!» |
she cries (And Winnie is strong) |
Through rope ends and silk ties (Would never let her fall) |
Beautiful life (Prevents her from breathing) |
Escaping her young blue eyes ('Till she’s not there at all) |
«Over!» |
she cries (But life holds her hands) |
Through rope ends and silk ties (Refusing to let go) |
Beautiful life (Leaving her breathing) |
Escaping her young blue eyes (On the floor) |
Seeing guilt has taught her guilt she’s raised on disbelief |
Merely twenty beautiful but with a taste for grief |
She has learnt all that there is to know about helplessness |
Seeing that no caring in this world can ease her stress |
Helpless she lies (The ceiling let go) |
In rope ends and undies (The old house let her fall) |
Unseeing eyes (Dropping her breathing) |
Fixating Eeyore’s smile (To the hard cold floor) |
«Over!» |
she cries (Hitting her head) |
As she’s going unblind (A broken china soul) |
Still in this life (red stains on porcelain) |
Still in this troubled mind (And she’s not there at all) |
Breathing she cries (Blackened and bruised) |
For rope ends and silk ties (Learning how to see) |
Beautiful eyes (Staring at her tooth) |
Piglet stands shy behind (Crimsoned ivory) |
Broken she lies (Hours they pass) |
Undead and unblind (This broken china soul) |
Beautiful life (Red stains on porcelain) |
Beautiful crying young eyes (And she’s not there at all) |
