broken girl

She was the sort of girl who was always in love

always preoccupied with this boy or that

always in love with a thing or a place 

enamored of trees, mountains, overalls, the color green

she captioned every picture with a soliloquy 

about joy or sadness or sunshine or birds

everything to her could be poetry

she loved Poe and Dickenson 

and approached life like a classic artwork

but as with so many masterpieces 

she was embossed in tragedy

she ran too fast not to fall

fell too hard not to break.

It's a story of one girl - the gone - one broken girl that's well and evocatively captured in words. Very nicely and thoughtfully pen'd up. It portraying that how one may not live without love but also how the heart neither escape the realism of aches .. kinda deep. Nice shot!
