The Laughs Will FadeA Poem by PJ_BatA young girl left alone yet again. She's surrounded by such joy, but she feels such isolation.A golden glint shines, Sprinkled through the painted leaves As a daughter weeps. The air is blissful, Gleeful songs on each corner. A silent heartbreak. Children are giggling Parents' smiles filled with such pride. Abandoned again. Eventually, The golden glint will vanish and the laughs will fade. See the bitter wind, Ripping through the painted leaves? Their beauty destroyed. Fathers turn their backs And they never say farewell. No matter your cries. Mothers stop caring, Their love grows for the bottle And their beloved pills. Her last love, toxic. Screaming inside, her smile stays She bids them adieu Alone with her razor Consumed with a fierce disgust A mess, a mistake. Lonely redefined, Her deafening cries breaking. Deserted, vacant. Sweet isolation.
