She’s giving up
Her heart no longer loves
Still it is tied to one
That has no care to fight for what’s worth
Excuses will stay
Reasons for no father remains
But the choice that he makes
Is still one of no change
She can do no more
Effort does not matter
Her eyes that once cried
Are dry like the desert river
Her body she sees covered in scars
For they remain to remind her
It’s not worth hanging on to what won’t last
