She was such a pretty girl. <br />Always up and about. <br />Her happiness even made others twirl. <br />Reached up for the sky before she'd call out, <br />'No one will ever bring me down.' <br />Her confidence was so pure. <br />Everyone knew her smile from all the way across town. <br />If you were downed with an illness, she'd be your best cure. <br /> <br />That was, until you came around. <br />You gave her everything. <br />She didn't even need a crown. <br />You were her other wing. <br />She figured that she found the right guy. <br />You never brought her close to the ground. <br />Until she found out, everything was turning to a lie. <br />That's the day she never made a sound. <br /> <br />With a twist of fate, she was being dragged to the floor. <br />You started to take back everything. <br />A piece of her fragile heart tore. <br />Along with her other wing. <br />Such happiness turning into dread. <br />Her eyes trailed to the sky, <br />And she lifted her head, <br />'I'm sorry to have said a lie.' <br /> <br />She was there, <br />But you never were. <br />She looked at herself in despair. <br />Did you even care for her? <br />Such a pretty face. <br />She misses her twirl. <br />Now she's tripping on her own lace. <br />I was such a pretty girl.<br /><br />Anna Greco<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/such-a-pretty-girl/
