The Girl I Thought I Knew

There once was a girl,

She was beautiful

Her piercing green eyes could keep me occupied for hours,

The bright smile that crossed her face made me speechless

She was perfect

Chocolate waves of silky hair cascaded down her back,

Freckles scattered across her face like stars in the sky

She was gorgeous

I would look at her when she read,

Her eyes scanning the pages with adornment

She was lovely

I thought her life was ideal,

Friends and teachers loved her

She was stunning

One day she was gone,

And the next day too

Then I learned the truth,

I thought she was happy

I thought she was fine,

She was gone.
