The Girl

This is the girl you thought you knew

The one who believed all your lies

She is the one who you thought you could hold

But today she spreads her wings to fly

She was not decent enough to meet your friends

Only good enough for nighttime pleasures

You took her for granted

No longer will she be at your leisure

Going against her better judgment

She stayed in silence waiting

You could not even make time to call

Her heart you were continually breaking

You spoke of how you loved her

Keeping her dangling on a thread

How could you really

Do you know her tears each night soaked her bed

She fell hard and fast for you

Finding rocks now lay beneath her fall

She had thought you to be different

Letting down her carefully constructed walls

I watched as she fell from grace

Wishing I could take her pain

Screaming from inside for her to hear me

As I listened to her gripping to stay sane

I see now a shadow of the girl I knew

Wanting her to once more be happy

The girl is in my reflection

This girl is me
