I knew a girl
Who smiled at everything.
Music in her eyes,
And fate on her lips.
Kind words,
And exquisite grace.
She loved simple things,
And noticed small details.
Petite giggles mixed with rambunctious excitement.
I knew a girl
Who kept us guessing.
Mysterious smiles,
And sappy poems.
Faraway laughs,
And gentle hands.
She hid away,
And loved to carry a gloomy vibe.
Hallow sighs mixed with calm movement.
I knew a girl
Who only wanted a tender embrace.
I knew a girl
Who forgot regret.
I knew a girl
Who screamed when no one was home.
I knew a girl
Who was found in her bed,
Wrists stained red.
I knew a girl
Who wrote of her own death,
On a blood-spattered, yellow page.
I knew a girl.
