Lay There Dead Poem by Abby Mize

She deserves so much better
The princess still cries
Her heart has been broken
By way too many guys

She was curled up in a ball
Make-up ran down her face
Feeling like life is pointless
But I know that's not the case

Does she not see the good
This is only just a phase
Life can be so wonderful
When you solve the maze

All she does is cry
Throughout night and day
What will make her smile
I don't know what to say

The best advice I know to give
Is to forget about the past
The stupid guy never loved you
That's why it didn't last

He wanted you to suffer
So show him that you're strong
He wants you to break down
Its time to prove him wrong

He never truly loved you
That's something you need to know
He never really cared
So you need to let him go

Show him you are better
Tell him you are done
Without him in your life
Everything is fun

The princess didn't respond
I could hear no more cries
I ask her if she's okay
But completely still she lies

I turned over her body
Red runs down her head
A bullet pierced her life
The princess lay there dead
