The Ones Who Fade

There's a girl who smiles often, 

just a little one in a big world, 

Eyes bright, hair curled, 

a heart of stone she could soften. 

She grew and the world turned gray, 

she was living in a world so fake, 

it was too hard of a pill to take, 

of her pain she would never say. 

She met a boy, one who smiled often, 

never could figure out why, 

why he never wants to cry, 

never felt like just crawling in a coffin. 

One day she asked him why? 

"Why do you smile?

It's not worth your while." 

that's when she began to cry.

He wrapped an arm around her, 

told her it was only fake, 

just hiding his mistakes, 

He hadn't known about her.

He hadn't known the tears, 

that spilled down her face, 

hadn't known this place, 

even after all these years, 

He didn't know she felt the same, 

just living through another day, 

couldn't find the right words to say, 

he was just glad she came. 

She screamed and shoved him away, 

trying not to believe him, 

not trusting him, 

and with tears he went away. 

She sits on a bench alone now, 

he left her alone, faded away, 

left her to die, no words to say, 

left her wondering how?

How had she become so cold?

living in hell, alone, 

her only friend gone, 

truth has to be told. 

Her eyes so bright are dull,

washed away the shine with tears, 

barely surviving her fears, 

she waits for Death to pull.
