They didn't know she was bleeding inside,
It was unclear why she was crying:
It happened so suddenly - no time for mourning,
And then she told she was dying.
Her bambi-blue eyes, we're glazed over and wide,
Her skin like a sheet of thin glass,
Her transparency told of her secrets from them,
And they knew now she'd let the time pass.
Her arms b'came limp as a ragdoll's own,
Her eyes now sunken and shadowed,
And her lips were swollen and twisted her words,
So her speech was a nonsensical code.
No longer could she leave her darkened room,
A cage it was for her,
And when she was set free, this was apparent:
For when checked?
... She didn't stir.
