Ephemera

Used to live her days free

as she dances under the sun

Feel the warmth of love, breeze fresh

as springtime had just begun

She thought she had life figured out

Reality crumbles down

Now she laughs without a sound

as the days drift away

She's left as a shell

As the autumn rain blocks out the sun

Trapped inside her minds in a haze

She thinks back to that fateful night

He took from her what she held tight

As the light fades from her eyes

The damage has been done

No one hears her cries

Broken life, a shattered dream

She's only just a child

Cradled somewhere between reality

No one hears her cries

Broken life, a shattered dream

She's only just a child

Cradled somewhere between reality

Now she spends her days blaming herself

for what she has no clue

A damaged frail flower never to bloom

This wasn't the way it was meant to be

No one hears her cries

Broken life, a shattered dream

She's only just a child

Cradled somewhere between reality

No one hears her cries

Broken life, a shattered dream

She's only just a child

Cradled somewhere between reality
