Her Pain

A Poem | Samantha Steiner

---

She gets high to numb her pain

And suicide is always in the back of her brain

Her depression is swallowing her whole

I can see the black cloud

Following her around

I want to protect her

And take away her pain

I miss her genuine smile

That has now faded away

There is nothing I can do or say

To make her feel okay

And it hurts like hell

Seeing her deteriorate
