remember that sad, weird girl?
the one with bags below her eyes
the one that tried to run into the
church bathroom in order to release her solemn cries.
she stayed in the basement
or went into the back parking lot to jump
in the puddles and get her dresses wet.
the local boy would always try and figure her
out but she was never the type that would
try and make friendly conversation.
you'd watch her behavior and mannerisms.
write down on a notepad what you think
is going on in her life.
and you swore that you were going to make
it better and that she wouldn't have anything
to worry about anymore.
everything was going to get better
and she was going to light up
every room with her glowing smile.
action was never taken place.
and instead she just got older
slowly growing into the old, bitter woman
that everyone knew she was destined to be.
no cadence
no rythymn
Wonderful description of that slightly off girl that I would have wondered at then and been intrigued by now.
