What Used To Be

What used to be bright and cheery, is now dull and grim

         used to be smiles and laughter, is now sadness and tears

         was once the sun shining brightly in her heart, has become

the night sky with her heart as the stars, shining just barely bright enough to see

She was once found in the daytime, now she hides in the darkness of the fog so she can't be hurt again

Instead of flying freely, her heart sinks to the bottom of the ocean like an anchor

...Darkness has overcome her...

She cannot breathe, but why would she want to?

What used to be bright and cheery is now dull and grim

         used to be smiles and laughter, is now sadness and tears

She no longer exists, and why would she want to?
