She doesn't know why



tears run down her cheeks
she doesn't know why
maybe she's more alone
in her abode this time
behind the opaque bars
that won't let anyone in
she's numb to the voices in & out
maybe she chose to stay in
for a little longer than usual this time
she knows this world is beyond beautiful,
that he needs her and she needs him too
her heart sinks in a little deep this time
but she's caged, shut and fragile
and she doesn't know why
