So Utterly Tired

Eyelashes like bars on her eyes,
locking away all her fears.

She's just so tired, 
so utterly tired.

Don't let it it escape your control, girl
you know what will happen.

She is past the point of no return,
but hides her sadness behind apathy.
Look past the blue and gray
and see the black slowly taking over.

It was you who broke her
Sound mind and body 
reduced to madness,
listen hard enough and you will hear
the chaos of her silence.

Stare straight and blank
absorbing but never omitting
any light
just absorbing;
the dark.

Call and she will not answer.
She is not mute,
do not underestimate her,
she does not speak because if she does
she will erupt and then there is no going back
everything will come crumbling down
and it will not matter until everything 
about her
is reduced to ashes
never once blinking until the dust settles.

But see what you have done?
You should have kept your mouth shut!
Lock and key,
chain and weight,
return the bars to your eyes, girl.

But she wont let that happen.

You call 
but she will not answer,
because if she does a world of pain 
will crumble around her,

and she is just so tired; 
So utterly tired.
