Goodbye to a Girl i Used to Know

by just a poet   Dec 30, 2006


There used to be a girl i knew,
whose laughter filled the air,
whose adventurous streak,
and sparkling eyes,
used to set the room aflame.

i used to see her dancing fast,
leaving a trail of perfume,
marking the way she went,
leaving laughter in her place.

she used to stand up tall and proud,
she would never have bowed down,
she knew who she was,
she knew where she belonged,
and she used to grin all the time.

i used to see her chatting to,
all of her guys and guys,
i used to see her flirting with,
that one silly lucky guy.

used to her sitting in class,
trying to work out a sum,
and see her laugh,
and jump up and down,
when she finally worked out what it was.

i used to see this lovely girl,
everyday of my life,
but i was the only one to notice,
the glitter dim in her eyes.

and now i must say goodbye,
to this happy, hyper girl,
her eyes have dimmed,
her smile is fake,
she has been forced to bow.

i used to know this girl so very well,
but now i must say a dreaded goodbye,
i must lock her in a lonely box,
and never let her come out.

i must say goodbye to this lively girl,
and hide the tears she cries,
she doesn't belong,
here in my life,
to me i say goodbye.

    Very powerful. I love the way you start it off with something simple, and then move into the deeper stuff. Each stanza spoke volumes. I particularly liked these two:
    "There used to be a girl i knew,
    whose laughter filled the air,
    whose adventurous streak,
    and sparkling eyes,
    used to set the room aflame."
    I thought that this one just painted a beautiful picture, and I loved it. Also, this one:
    "used to her sitting in class,
    trying to work out a sum,
    and see her laugh,
    and jump up and down,
    when she finally worked out what it was."
    This one reminded me of me. I've done this before, numerous times. Especially since math is not my strong suit. Wonderful job. It was beautiful. 5/5
