she's so strong, but not quite



if you look beyond that wrinkled brow



to those trembling eyes



she's shaking and nothing will steady her out



you've forgotten she screams



but has she ever really remembered anything



anything outside the pain



the broken doll she holds onto



i can't pry it from her hands



we use to talk of you and me



and trips we'd take to distant lands holding hands



buts its ok



i have this hum of this heater and its glow



to keep me company



just as my sadness keeps me company



so what did you think when you saw me



there with echoes of goodbye



a shadow of someone you once knew
