The light will fade, the dark will swell,
And when it's over, no one will hear the knell—
No cries from the child who tried to hide,
Drowning in shame, buried inside.
No whispers of pain through silent halls,
No tears that stained those crumbling walls.
No screams behind that locked-up door,
Just blood that pooled on the bathroom floor.
