It changed it all…

I watched the big movie star
up on the screen.
That evening was happy,
happy was me.

But happy was gone
as darkness drew near.
It wasn’t me…
was it?
Really?
It was.

I thought I was watching
a nightmare unfold
but reality,
it was really quite bold.

In that instant,
that girl was gone.
The innocence,
the love
she was definitely gone.

A shell was left
in the place where she sat,
just watching the star
up on the screen.

I can’t say for certain
what happened that day…
but all I know
is the girl who was happy
she was happy no more.
