Once upon a time,
There was a little girl.
This little girl wanted to be loved,
And so she trusted.

Once upon a time,
A little girl trusted.
She trusted with all her heart
But this trust was betrayed.

Once upon a time,
a little girl was deceived.
At the time she didn't understand,
but she would grow.

Once upon a time,
A little girl blossomed into a girl.
This girl was forgetful,
Yet some memories cannot be ignored.

Once upon a time,
A girl regained some memory.
To be sure she asked,
Only the answer was worse than expected.

Once upon a time,
A girl received an unpleasant explanation.
So she held a memory,
though this memory was more like a secret.

Once upon a time,
A girl kept a secret inside her heart.
However every secret has it's weight,
And this one hurt.

Once upon a time,
There was a girl who hurt.
To seek comfort she released a demon trapped inside,
For it just couldn't do so much harm when exiled.

Once upon a time,
A girl was mistaken.
When someone rejected her suffering,
It pained her even worse.

Once upon a time,
Injury haunted a girl.
The more she tried,
The more damage was done.

Once upon a time,
There was a girl.
This girl wanted to be loved,
But her heart was crippled.
