The tears keep falling
along with her life.

what's held in her future will not be known.
Until she finds her way back home

So much pain is built up inside
She feels she's losing her mind

She feels her life is coming to an end.
Because she doesn't know how to mend.

She tells herself things will get better.
But what does that matter?

when her heart is shattered.

I like this a lot! It's beautifully simple and honest. Also, it's easy to relate to for me and a lot of us, I'm sure. 5/5 (:

Beautiful. The last lines really left an impact on me. Is this based on a personal experience?
