her smile used to
cut through this dull
melancholy with ease
now it flickers and fails
she's not the same
lethargic like a toy
needing to be wound up
she used to be beautiful
carried herself tall and confident
weightless
now her back is broken
over the weight of the world
lethargic like a toy
needing to be wound up
lethargic like a toy
that I can't wind up
what did I do wrong
she used to be beautiful
she used to be happy
now she sees through
an empty glass
now she lives through
a dimming lens
and doesn't seem to
smile anymore
