Pain or Beauty

Standing under a weeping willow
Because beauty arises from pain
Blade in one hand
Rose in the other
Blood dripping from her veins

Her love knew no bounds
Her pain was something you could never touch
Her love for others may have known no bounds
But love for herself there never was

When she realized everyone around her was much more important
Than the pain she held inside
She started to ignore herself
To push her feelings to the side

What you don't understand about the girl in black
Is that is truly what she believes
Protecting others was her job
No one could take her place

Because no one knew how to protect her loved ones
Like she did
She was their protector
She was their sister
She was supposed to take care of them
And she failed miserably

No matter how much she tried 
No matter how many times she reached out
No one was there to take her hand
No one was their to pull her out

So as you try to reach out to her
As she is self destructing
Just remember one thing
She is just doing what she was taught

She was taught how to survive 
Not how to live
