The Girl With Stars in Her Eyes...

I wrote this while crying after reading a terribly sad book.

The girl with sparkles on her nails,

Diamonds in her hair

And stars in her eyes.

That was me.

We all have dreams,

Hopes, thoughts, wishes.

It takes but a single moment,

 To take all that away.

The day Peter never taught you how to fly,

The day a white rabbit never came to be followed,

The day a cyclone didn’t pick up your house.

The days you cried with no one left to catch your tears.

13 years and then shock, thunder, lightning.

Leaving you empty, hollow.

This pain never dies, never leaves, never ceases.

It will be your Casper for the rest of your life.

Haunting you with happy memories,

Of the days in the sun, little pigtails,

Imaginary friends and games.

Never fading never dying,

Like living in a never ending dream.

But now I cry myself to sleep with no one to wish to.

Not Santa. Not Peter. Not rabbit. Not winnie the pooh.

No one.

The harsh reality leaves nothing but a Monday morning,

Boring, painful and lifeless.

But may those days in the heart of a child never die,

Nor the joy of their never staying daydream.

yes and i saw you too..and felt sorry too..those sparkles in eyes
lovely nails and hair like diamonds,looking and living in dreams
but i knew dreams could never last,i feared for you ,tender nerves at younger years
you did not understand ,it may all fly to dust and then ,nothing is ever left
all a sudden,nothing is there ,thing you learnt at thirteen,they will never be
you will keep dreaming like they will come tomoroow ,but tomorrow never comes
we pick at this and that ,only its thorn keep pricking,and we keep bleeding
wish it was not like that ,tender nerves and smooth skin ,and life in spring
it will just not do,it cant keep that way,one day i may teach you a way
a new way of how to dream,dreams that may come true but never in this life
lovely write..
