Once there was a lonely girl <br />Who wished for things she did not need <br />She would kneel down on her knees <br />For hours she would beg and plead <br /> <br />She wanted to be Princess <br />She wanted to be Queen <br />She wanted people to love her <br />But she really wanted to be seen <br /> <br />When she finally got her wish <br />She sat overlooking the sight <br />On her throne above all <br />She realized this was not right <br /> <br />Some say she wished too hard <br />Some say she wished too long <br />But then we awoke one autumn day <br />To find that she was gone <br /> <br />The trees they say stood witness <br />The sky refused to tell <br />Someone who was there <br />Knew the story well <br /> <br />She just let go of all she held <br />And then <br /> <br />She was gone<br /><br />Brynn Fier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-then-she-was-gone/
