She smiles for now
but when she makes it home
her world crumbles somehow
and she's all alone

I try to ease the pain
but she pushes me away
leaving my efforts in vain
nothing I can do or say

She's moving as if lined with lead
she tells me she's feeling for dead
teetering like she can barely stand
it seems life has dealt her a rough hand

The pressures of life won't relent
so she tilts her head back
gracefully she smiles as she makes her descent
and the world fades to black

slowly she falls to the ground
her thud echoes as the room slows
all eyes dart, confused, no one makes a sound
we all know the end but its not like the shows

Whoa. This really reminds me of myself. A friend of mine wrote a poem to me that was similar to that. I know it's hard to see that happening to someone you care about, but have faith that things will get better.
