Lost Rainbow

By PaperPromises

A crippled yesterday sealed with a broken good-bye
Her tears lay stained, tinting her eyes
Tantalizing shadows shift around her soul
Freezing her thoughts to a deafening cold
She bitterly thought "What a life to lead"
As she laid alone and naked, proceeding to bleed
Internally her blood ran dry long ago
From all the smiles she could not show
From all the happiness she'd never know
From the final faint of the lost rainbow.
Forgetting each promise, erasing the truth
She finds comfort in sadness, where only tears soothe
Her fears lay visible, vulnerable to all
As she gives into the whispered taunting's fall
She's lost her will to try to live any longer
Each second she grows weaker, never stronger
She watched as her own blood withdrawled away
As her skin crawled under the swift of the blade
Good-bye to those whom she used to know
Good-bye to that faded, lost rainbow.

    Good flow and rhyme, comfort in sadness is a familiar feeling and grows weeker not stronger. I also liked the faded rainbow analogy.
