The girl who sleeps in hell
Life just isn't enough, you need to love as well.
You know it's hard to sit and watch the girl who sleeps in hell
A dozen pills, a mortal sin
A chard of glass, it cuts your skin
The deep dark red that paints your bathroom floor.
The open skies, the window stain
Your empty eyes, are full of pain
The flashing blue lights heading for your door
Life just isn't enough, you need to love as well
It turns out I never knew, the girl who sleeps in hell.
Your timid voice, your broken speech
A cry for help, blood sucking leach
The silent scream as you're wheeled down the hall
Those bitter words, your sharpened tongue,
your perfect life, it all went wrong
The gospel that you preach is scattered on the wall.
Life just isn't enough, you need to love as well
I'll give everything I have to save the girl who sleeps in hell.
Appreciated!
I really enjoyed the three line stanza approach and the repetition of the main couplet. The topic really speaks to me and i think you executed the outside perspective perfectly. I just posted a poem on here with a similar topic if you'd like to check it out! Keep writing!
Thank you for your comment, i

My mother was a rainbow
My father turned her grey
they loved me like a sky lantern
they watched me fly away
