there was a girl

there was a girl

older than me
but young in life
 
there was a girl
with clear skin
and a beautiful scattering 
of freckles, 
like a picturesque scattering
of seeds 
waiting to bloom 
into flowers
 
there was a girl
who loved music 
especially old folk tunes 
that remind her of her childhood
and riding her motorbike
recklessly on her own
 
there was a girl
who had suffered 
too much for her age
and yet she only trusted
a few
with the dark secrets 
beneath her smile
 
there was a girl 
different to the rest
not only in who she was
but also
the way 
she made me feel
 
there was a girl
who changed 
everything I thought I knew
about life 
and who I was
 
there was a girl
who blessed me 
with kisses and love
and company 
in my single bed
 
there was a girl
who would hold me
comfort me
care for me 
love me
 
there was a girl
I hurt 
I abandoned
for shallow acceptance
from my peers
 
there was a girl
who was in pain 
needed a friend
needed help
 
there was a girl 
who found 
her savior
in a bottle 
of pills
 
and then suddenly
there wasn't 
a girl
anymore.

And there was a girl who left her to breathe her last without any care inspite of her loveable deeds! So sad but well expressed.
