There is a girl who smiles and never stops
she dreams of fairies and magic but she knows it’s real-- whispered kisses grace her brows; her mother promising love; Today she will go to meet her friends she’ll play dress up and paper dolls she’ll talk of a palace made of gold and glitter where princesses meet their happily after. breathless: she’ll giggle and run into a future that’s hers |
In the stars
there’s a curse-- death is woven into the stripes of her uniform she no longer remembers memories of a life in the world before forever but she is ready. beyond the shells and bombs, over a blood covered city, the rest of the world watches before turning away, one last time she falls asleep and dreams of life |
