“Where is Jane?”
That was the question,
Unaware that a fragile state of life
Hung so delicately in the balance,
This simple question, among the laughter and noise
Yet there she lay, alone in silence
No one ever cared before
So why ask “why” now…
Oh, where is Jane?
Away in a permanent limbo
She thinks she has the answer,
A solution to her loneliness and isolation
It has to work, to make her whole again
Putting an end to her self-loathing and
Scars she inflicted over and over
“Someone must love me?”
“I must be needed?”
Every question, always a “no”
Her terrible screams and infinite desolation
Falling on deaf ears and blind eyes
To a world that has all but forgotten
She even exists
Now her world is
Engulfed in a darkness
From which she is lost and can never return
Yet with the last ray of light reflects
A flash of steely brilliance
All at once it’s meaning cuts deeply
While all the “answers” flow
Into pools of crimson regret
I know where Jane is….
Cold and lifeless, eyes empty and old
The warmth of life, like her spirit
Drained away, with nothing left to mark her being
But stains on the floor and the distant memories
Of those that forgot her
Yeah, I know where she is
Right where you left her,
Broken and defeated
With all that’s left
But to join the nothingness
You condemned her to
