THE GIRL IS GONE

A poem.

The girl is gone

You killed her

You see

She tried to stay a float

She tried to do what you wanted

But it only made her choke

I heard her gasp for air

Calling out but no one listened

They went about their day

With their thin paper faces

You killed her you see

Dragged her down into your darkness

Suffocated her with unending wants and expectations

She wanted to love

And she wanted to dream

But the world was too cruel

And so were you.

The girl is gone.

Now she is me.
