SLOWLY MELTING
She shuts herself in the bathroom, waiting for daylight to break
She tries to stop the tears she wishes were oh so fake
She stares at her reflection, her face blurring before her eyes
She slides down to the floor
Looks at the ceiling and cries
She wonders how everything became confusing
How everything toppled so fast
She thought happiness meant forever
But wishes never seem to last
She laughs at herself for believing
Thinking for a minute it was all real
And now she sits next to the sink
Slowly watching the wallpaper peel
She blocks out the pounding on the door
And turns the faucet on
She glares at the running water going down
And watches it disappear, forever gone
Her life was always like that though
It made no difference to her at all
She always knew dreams wouldn't come true
And no one was ever there to catch her fall
She climbs up to the small window
Her only key to the outside world
And her sadness gets deeper
As the weather turns harshly cold
The tears are left to dry on her cheeks
She's too hurt to wipe them away with her fingers
Slowly, she melts inside her body
Her existence of thoughts are all that lingers
