she sat on her porch
and looked up to the sky
there was no point in wiping
the tears from her eye
some stories you hear
and you soon forget
but some hang over your head
they won't let you forget
some souls in this world
only graze the surface
but reach straight through
to your bones
if it was only a flesh wound
she'd just walk away
but her heart
was melting away.
