Without Comfort, Without Care

She had everything you'd need
All the storybooks she'd read
Losing track of time amidst the worlds beyond her reach

Open notebook, pen in hand
Her writing swift as skaters coasting frozen land
Prowess heartless bairns don't understand

Helpless in the hallway
The oppressors waiting there
Broken by lonely despair
Tarnished without comfort, without care

Tarnished without comfort, without care

She was cornered and afraid
Her world became unmade
All abashed her sorrow as the pages turned to ash

Scalded notebook, empty hands
Her solace now her loneliness, can't convalesce
Rife with agony she can't express

The girl that she once was
Can never come to be
Crimson pen, a bloody bodkin
Erase the past that she must bury

Faded eyes are weary
From the burdens she must carry
Chocolate hair imbrued in ebony
Of yore her adversary

Bereft of all she knew
All the damage she's been through
Broken by lonely despair
Tarnished without comfort, without care

Tarnished without comfort, without care
