The day continued on like no one cared 
The tension could be cut with a knife
The happy faces, the looks of joy
Around the one person who never cared

The look of disdain on the receiver 
Forcing a smile through clenched teeth
Breathing happy lies, but who would care
She played the part in till the end

The gifts around her like a cadge
The calendar flipping, passing with vengeance
Reminding her that time is short 
She must escape or be eternally lost

Falling through her hands the sands of time
And now your wondering, what is this
What makes her feel the way she does
As soon as its written you'll understand 

Today was her birthday the kiss of death.
