The girl they used to know

alybraun024

She whispers secrets to the moon

While her spirits dropping low

What has consumed you they ask

This isn’t the girl we know


What’s true for them is not for me

This is the girl they know

That darkness in me bottled up

Doesn’t always show

 

I hold it in until the point

when it can not longer stay

That’s when the sweet little girl they knew

Slowly fades away

 

If you ask the moon shining through her blinds

What goes on inside her head

He’ll tell you he’s her best friend

And this is what she said

 

Mr. moon help me grow wings and fly

Far away from here, I’ll no longer cry

After seeing my life and the path it lead

I promise I’m okay with being dead

 

So you see their little Angel

With the wings ripped from her back

Who sits and sings and smiles and plays

And makes her family laugh

 

She isn’t truly happy here

She wishes for a break

The love she gets from those around

Always feels so fake

 

Without anyone here to love her

And show her her own worth

She sits in bed alone at night

Wishing for the worst

 

She smiles on the outside

But what’s really underneath

A little girl stuck in her head

Holding on to grief.

 

The sadness of the memories

Ones that replay in her head

Of all the times her parents eyes

Looked as if they wished her dead

 

While you remember, their little angel

Had her wings ripped from her back

Remember she also watched the world she loved

Slowly turn to black

 

Please be gentle on her spirit

When you take her from this hell

And remember she was an angel

Without wings to fly who fell
