he fell in love with the girl with the broken smile.

she wore the black he envied dearly.

she laughed the laugh he admired.

and it was amazing.

he wanted the darkness for himself,

but she didn't want him.

no.

for the girl who had the broken smile

never laughed, and she didn't think she

was amazing.

the girl who wore the black the sky

envied dearly, lingered on the edge of

the cliff that everyone knew.

it was the girl they never saw through

and she said hello to death as if

it were her old friend that truly missed

her.

no one wanted the girl in black around.

that's why she's tucked away under the

floorboards of room seventy-three.

to find peace,

and serenity.
