A silence fills the hallway 
It climbs up the walls 
It hangs onto the ceiling 
It sinks into my pores 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
While a young girl cries 
She dare not make a noise 
Cus he’ll beat her otherwise 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a young girl grabs a knife 
She feels for its sharpness 
To try to take her life 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a young girl slits her wrists 
She hopes that she will die tonight 
Cus she cant take any more of his hits 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As blood fills up the floor 
A young girl lays there dying 
But shes not crying anymore 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a young girl smiles 
She can fells herself dying 
She knows it has been worthwhile 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a young girl writes a note 
She scribbles she is sorry, mum, 
But she just cant cope 
 
A scream fills the hallway 
As a mother finds her daughter 
Surrounded by a crimson puddle 
If only she’d tried to help her…. 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As the doctors rush around 
They’re trying hard to save her life 
But they can’t bring her back round 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a young girl lies there dead 
She didn’t mean to hurt them 
But she couldn’t take the pain instead 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a mother receives the news 
The death of her only child 
Her mouth can barely move 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a father receives the news 
He beat his only child 
And left her no other escape to use 
 
A sob fills the hallway 
As her friends learn of her death 
She couldn’t take the pain anymore 
Not even just one more breath 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a funeral takes place 
A young girl died 
Because she couldn’t take his abuse. 
 
A silence fills the hallway 
As a young girl is buried 
Her soul flies away from her 
Her pain is free forever.
