As She Lays There
She's taken everything for granted.
Her friends, her family, and her freedom
have never been appreciated.
She never realized she had done it.
But now, as she lays there,
naked and bare, on this cold table
with no one and nothing,
she realizes she couldn't
live without them there.
She'd found a sense of belonging
with her best friends.
A sense of love
with her family.
A sense of security
before he came along.
She never looked close enough.
And as she lays there
she knew she did not fancy
this newfound loneliness.
Life itself meant nothing
if she could not have
her friends and family
close to her heart anymore.
If she ever saw them again,
she'd thank them over and over
for giving her a life
that meant something.
And as she lays there,
she'd give anything to go back
and use her last breath
to tell them she appreciates them
and couldn't live without them.
