There is this girl I know
She used to be happy and carefree
She used to laugh and dance
Always seeing the good things in life
In people
Always receiving good in return
Until she stopped receiving good
She received pain
And suffering
And loss
She tried to stay happy
She really did
Then she meet him
He made her scared
He made her quiet
He made her behave
But in the worst way
He left
But she didn't fully come back
Her smiles were a little more forced
And her laughs a little less real
Then he died
She cried
He was her grandfather
They were close
She broke
Time healed her wounds
But they would never close completely
Leaving a gap
Making it easy for someone to slither in
And break her
Then he came
He made her strong
But only when she was with him
He made them one
Attaching hooks in her still open wound
She said no
He said yes
Then he left
She was now half there
But no one knew
Cause she didn't tell anyone
She still hasn't
Her smiles were now plastered on
Her laugh a little more harsh
Then she left
Without a word
Leaving her wondering
What she did wrong
Still to this day
She doesn't know
Now she's here
Pieces being held together
By cigarettes and Jack Daniels
By a pen and notebook
Leaving her smile in pieces
Her laugh in the dark
And her heart destroyed
But no one knows
Cause she hasn't told anyone
But when I look into the mirror
And see her staring at me
I know we never will
