"When did that little girl with the rosy cheeks and shining eyes stop smiling so often When did her..."


When did that little girl with the rosy cheeks and shining eyes

stop smiling so often

When did her love for rainbows and wild colours change

to drawers full of endless shades of black


How did her outlook for the future, once so bright

being in to flicker

How did the heart that was stronger than an ox

suddenly feel so diseased


What was said to her

to make her second guess herself

What was expected of her

that she felt as if the weight upon her shoulders was that of the world


Where does her mind go

on the rainy days she used to yearn for

Where do her feet carry her

when she walks so far alone


Why does she stay quiet

when her mind is screaming

Why does she hide away

the cracks the so badly wants filled


Who broke that girl’s heart

when all she wanted was to give them it all

Who is going to pick up the pieces

when she finally falls apart
