A Lost Girl

  There was a girl I knew

She held treasure in eyes

Pearls in her smile, 

Chirpy and bubbly she was

Until the day a silence eroded her;

Lonely she sat on the beach, 

An old piano with broken strings she held

Playing a song no one heard. 

I saw her from a distance... 

Now her eyes cried silent tears

Her smile faded, 

The void of her heart echoed in the waves. 

I searched for the meaning of her emptiness in those words

Days passed

Soon she was done expressing her pains

To the sunshine and the moonlight. 

This morning,

She was nowhere to be found.

There was a lost girl I knew. 

There was a lost girl I knew.
