A lonely red balloon
Floats into the wide blue sky
Disappearing into the canvas
Of endless white clouds

A crowd gathers watching
The balloon ascent into the heavens
Vanishing for all eternity
As another soul departs with it

They're not there for the
Simple red balloon
But for the girl that lies
Motionless on the sidewalk

Her eyes wide open
A silent scream on her lips
Cold hands reaching for something
Just out of her grasp

There is no pulse
There is no blood
The only thing that remains
Is the sadness deep in her eyes

Paramedics arrive far too late
To breathe life into this
Lost and broken child
Her heartbeat already gone forever

Pronounced dead at the scene
They leave and the crowd departs
Leaving the girl to lie there
Drowning for eternity in her misery

Hurting from the inside out
No one knew what she died of
They say she simply passed
But only few know the truth

She died of a broken heart
After everything life had done
There was no way to bring her back
When inside she was already dead
Comments...?

It's been a while since I did a club submission... This is for :iconself-injuryclub:. This isn't pro-suicide or anything. The girl simply died of a broken heart, as I said... The lonely red balloon is her broken heart finally getting a chance to fly away and rest in peace in Heaven... Anyways, I do hope you enjoyed and do not find me any bit depressing. :)
