Isn't She Lovely

She stares through the empty glass

Eyes brimming with tears

Wondering how long she'd feel vacant

Last time it was years

We called for her but got no response

Her mouth dry and shaking

I'd get her help, but who to call?

Her soul, no one's for the taking

A bottle of poison finds her

Enough to make her break

One more night to forget it all

Before we find her in the lake

She'll float there until sunrise

Turning white and grey

Leaving behind no lover

For none she could make stay

Her lonely heart couldn't take it

Not for one more song

Watching them grow together

Why was she built so wrong?

The boy who found her was kind

He wept when he saw her

For he would have been the one

If only she'd been stronger
