Grey clouds heavy with lost future
The smell of flowers already tainted with decay
Tears weeping into sodden earth.
The end of life that had only just begun
Not her fault she didn’t have the strength
She was too young to even see beyond today
Bowed heads gather round a gaping void
Whispered goodbyes stain the air with misery
Look at this photo of a girl with denim jeans
A room with posters on a wall
A mobile phone screen cracked and caked with dirt
Its all we have, we didn’t know what was at stake.
She cared too much about being liked
Gave too much of herself away
Jackals feeding on pain, inflicting hurt
They left her nothing, stripped her of her sense of worth
And now she's gone, no future only empty space
They slink back, disappearing in the dark abyss
Where anyone can shred and tear another soul
And no one ever has to face what they have done
Chorus
We didn’t see her pain didn’t understand
Those poison words that filled her brain
The cruel barbs that dug into her mind
She chose to leave behind the pain
