Once knew a little girl
She smiled and laughed
Full of love
Bursting with life
Changes within her
Occurring so quietly
Silently sucking all from within her
She sunk away from me
I can't get her back
Try as I might
I keep reaching
Hoping to grasp onto something to hold
Something to pull her back
Instead I have to watch her pain
I see it in her eyes
Eyes so filled with darkness and pain
Pain that I can't wipe away
Knowing that I can not do anything
I sit and I watch and I wonder
I want her back
I need her here
I don't want to keep bandaging her self inflicted wounds
I want to help heal
But I can't seem to get through
I don't know what happened
I don't know what went wrong
Sometimes I still see a glimmer
Of that little happy girl
Only now I wonder if its only an illusion...
