Her Heart is Black

what the world has done to her

Her heart is black.

Out in the dark
under all her sorrow.
The leaves droop low and heavy.
Another moment of misery.

You can see right through her
and straight into her heart.
She once tried to hide it
but she can't no more.

Her pain
is all too real
and has become
more than she can bare.

Deep in her heart
there is a shimmer of hope.
But all this pain
has hidden all hope.

Look at her heart
and see what the world has done.
Her heart is black
the pain clearly shows.
