Girl She Once Was

A smile on her face.

As she walks through a familiar place.

She’s faking that she’s having a good time.

Waiting and watching as the clock chimes.

Counting down till its time for her to leave.

Home is where she wants to be.

Its easier that way for her to grieve.

She misses her old life.

The girl she used to be.

She watches and waits.

Soon the clock will ding eight.

And she’ll be free.

She can drop the façade.

Be the girl she made herself be.
