Original Submission by Muhle Isabelle Samalenge

The sunshines on her face

Even when it's at night

Her laughter can be heard from miles away

Her voice keeps your fears away

But she lays at night awake

Her demons whispering to her ear

No one could hear her

Heart break at night

The tears that never dries

The whimpering under the pillow

...

She seems perfect

I wish I was you

As she tries to swallow her tears

Cause those words cut her deeply

Like a knife straight to the heart

....

What do you long for deeply?

A forever slumber

The sleep that never leaves
