Withered Within

Withered within - dark and deep

Withered within - can't get to sleep

Withered within - lonely and weak

Withered within - it's love she seeks

Physically tired, with bones that ache

Withdrawn and forlorn, no friends to make

Alone in the world, no place for the meek

Withered within - it's love she seeks

Alone and tired she makes her way

Through her short life without a say

Withered within - yearning for peace

Withered within - when will it cease

Alone in life - alone in death

Did anyone care, or love young Beth

Now that she's gone - no one can tell
Withered within - her personal hell
