This
Girl
There
once was a little child
So
alone in this world,
A
sly look upon her lips
Producing
her forever smile.
She was this walking
contradiction,
A smile that will
brighten the room,
And sad eyes that
bring you to your knee's.
Her soul cast to
the dark, her body to the sun.
She hides out loud,
No one to question
Why that smile
does not match those eyes.
The head ever so
slightly bowed.
The center of attention
Touches everyone
she's around,
Charms her way
to your heart
Always looking
like fun;
Deadened through
time.
Blackness here
for keeps,
This is how she
is-
Teetering back
and forth over the line.
Crying out for
help in vain,
Streaming silent
tears,
Whispering unseen
fears,
Hiding her pain.
Forever amid strife,
Outside holding
that smile,
Inside holding that pain;
This is her
life.
