There was a girl I used to know but I haven’t seen her in awhile.
She was beautiful,smart,confident,free spirited.
She could turn an uneasy silence into a conversation.
She could make you smilejust like that, & she could even make you cryjust like that.
She felt like she could change the world, paint it differentcolors.
She could conquer anything.
She believed in fairy tales, dreams, and love.
Until that day when he took his love back.
Her smilefaded and turned to tears.
& now that thetearshave run dry she feels empty, lonely,even though she’s not alone.
Her pride has faded.
Her hope seems lost.
She doubts herself.
No longer feels worth orbeautiful,smart,confident,free spirited.
Her laugh is foreverchanged.
Now the silenceis her own.
Her eyes have dulled.
The colors she tries to paint are now dried up and grey.
Her dreams have disappeared.
Herfairytaleis just a memory that’s long gone all because he took his love away.
I miss that girl. I wonder if she’ll ever be the same.
