She lays flat under the bridge

Her soul hopeless

Her eyes lifeless

Her nose bleeding like the river besides her

As she lays flat

With hope for the future

The pain of reflection of rejection introduced her to drugs

Now the drugs she takes killes her bit by bit

with no life to live her life ends tonight

She left the drugs in this lonely world

As nuture took her along

After days became weeks and weeks became months

Her body still lays under the bridge

with dirt smell screaming out of her

Her future ends tonight as she is taken along with the river beside her

From then they became friends
