she was probably the saddest girl 
I had ever seen, young, beautiful, 
petite but not small, dark but not reserved, not afraid. it was so strange;
 what was she doing there? at an empty bar, 
in an empty city,
 on a tuesday night, 
alone, chirpy. she said she was 32
 when she looked 25, 
time had treated her well,
 ‘how?!’ we asked, 
‘drinking and smoking a lot of **** she answered, she kept on 
such a brave face. even as the drunks 
and kids
 and madmen bombarded her,
 nothing could take away her buzz. I just kept wondering, how she got there, 
how any of us got here. she was truly beautiful, alone and beautiful, but so sad.

she was probably the saddest girl 
I had ever seen, young, beautiful, 
petite but not small, dark but not reserved, not afraid. it was so strange;

alone, chirpy. she said she was 32

how any of us got here. she was truly beautiful, alone and beautiful, but so sad.
