There She Goes

There she goes running in the pale moonlight

pupils wide the whites of her eyes gone red

skin and bones

she's barely eaten in three days she's chasing after white snowflakes trying to find an escape

away from what she knows because she's seen too much and she's oh so young

exposed to the violence of a broken home

Beaten bruised and barely breathing she still hasn't eaten she may not come to see the weekend

she's running low she needs a fix its getting late she needs it quick

she thinks about what got her here and if she should just disappear

she can go to sleep and never leave the sweet surrender of her dreams
