Day by day she fades away,
Into another distance memory.
All she ever wanted,
Was to be love by one,
They way she loves them.
She won’t ever understand,
The way humans work.
She’ll never feel true love.
By time it comes her way,
She’ll be colder then ice.
Her heart will be,
Tougher then steel.
With each moment of pain,
She covers it with a smile.
The rare moments of joy,
She clings to with all her might.
Grasping for her sanity,
What little bit she may have.
The darkness comes,
But this time so does light.
And in an instant,
Her body dies.
Her soul is free,
And for the first time,
She begins to really live.
