There was a girl I used to know,
but I haven't seen her in a while.
she was beautiful, smart, confident, & free-spirited.
she could turn an uneasy silence into a conversation.
she could turn tears into laughter,
her bright eyes could light up a room
& give comfort & hope.
she could make you smile just like that,
& she could even make you cry,
just like that.
she felt like she could change the world,
paint it different colors.
she could conquer anything.
she believed in fairy tales, dreams, & love.
until that day,
when he took his love away.
her smiled faded & turned to tears,
& now that the tears have 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 worthy or beautiful..
now the silence is her own.
her eyes have dulled,
her laugh is forever changed.
the colors she tries to paint
are now dried up & gray.
her dreams have disappeared,
her fairy tale is 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?
