There Stands A Girl

Folder: 
Loss

There stands a girl,

All by herself.

Tears smearing her,

Once beautiful face.

 

She looks behind her,

At what used to be.

Longing for the memory,

And getting only pain.

 

If I could just be happy,

Everything would be ok.

If I could just let go,

Things would go my way.

 

Her life bleeds from her,

Becoming just a shell.

She doesn’t know,

Who she is anymore.

 

Laughing and smiling,

It’s like watching someone else.

The face in the mirror,

Is hers no more.

 

If I could be happy,

Everything would be ok.

If I could just let go,

Things would go my way.

 

It’s time to change,

And be born again.

It’s time to start,

All over again.

 

She searches inside,

To find herself.

To know herself,

And love who she is.

 

If I could be happy,

Everything would be ok.

If I could just let go,

It’s time to start today.
