Living and Laughing, Dancing a Dream...

She was a girl

full of dreams,

affectionate, adoring,

easy to please,

a full life ahead,

so it seems....

 

Living and laughing, dancing a dream,

loving life, to its means.

sixteen and beautiful

full of passion and grace,

she hungered for the day

she could take her place.

 

Hopes and dreams

of a full life ahead,

she saw it coming

she never had any dread.

 

Living and laughing, dancing a dream

loving life, to its means.

daytime turned to darkness

joy to grief,

laughter to tears

with no passion or grace.

 

Beaten and wounded

youth taken away,

she longed for the day

she could escape this place.

 

Protecting the ones she loved

from the outcome of her fate,

she pushed it deep down inside

and hide it at any rate.

Day’s turned to weeks

weeks turned to years,

she kept smiling and living

but joy was replaced with fear.

 

Longing for the one

who would hold her tight,

turning her darkness

back into light.

 

Living and laughing, dancing a dream

Loving life to its means…
