Analysis of She
She was there
She was always there
She had darkness around her
She was fire, she was rain
She was night and she was light
She was the one
Who was there
Her voice was the loudest one
Stronger than the rest
She built me a nest
I stayed there for days, sometimes
"end it all" she would always say
When I was well, she was there
When I fell, she was there
She was the hurricane inside my mind
She was the one who screamed "I'm fine"
She gave me pills to escape from this hell
My mind could not handle this cell
She was there
She was always there
The shadow behind
Who held me
When I fell
