Such A Pretty Girl Poem by Anna Greco

She was such a pretty girl.
Always up and about.
Her happiness even made others twirl.
Reached up for the sky before she'd call out,
'No one will ever bring me down.'
Her confidence was so pure.
Everyone knew her smile from all the way across town.
If you were downed with an illness, she'd be your best cure.

That was, until you came around.
You gave her everything.
She didn't even need a crown.
You were her other wing.
She figured that she found the right guy.
You never brought her close to the ground.
Until she found out, everything was turning to a lie.
That's the day she never made a sound.

With a twist of fate, she was being dragged to the floor.
You started to take back everything.
A piece of her fragile heart tore.
Along with her other wing.
Such happiness turning into dread.
Her eyes trailed to the sky,
And she lifted her head,
'I'm sorry to have said a lie.'

She was there,
But you never were.
She looked at herself in despair.
Did you even care for her?
Such a pretty face.
She misses her twirl.
Now she's tripping on her own lace.
I was such a pretty girl.
