etched onto her skin
injected into her veins
she thought she had love
she tried to embrace it in vain

long gone was the innocent child
and very much, to her delight
she fantasized about life
she fantasized about love

she grew up
faster than she thought
and to her disappointment
it wasn't what she expected it to be

etched to her skin
injected into her veins
she lost sight of love
and everything good that came
