I once knew a girl with a giant heart
Beautiful, sweet and awful smart
But far too kind and too naive
To give so much, and not receive
She would smile and satisfy
but at night, she would cry
She would sacrifice in secrecy
and weep in secret frequently
But in our eyes, she was blessed
So we didn't see her one request
Her scream of help wasn't heard
And gone, she was like a manakin bird.
