That young girl who used to smile,

Yeah, the one you haven't seen in a while. 

You hear her name everywhere,

But everything's changed, even her hair

 

The light you used to see in her eyes

Is now stained with tears as she cries

Those bright colorful jeans and shirts

Have been taken over by black sweatshirts

 

That young girl who used to laugh

You can only see it in a photograph.

You can hear it from time to time

But it's nothing, not even a dime

 

That young girl who has never had a boy

That young girl who hasn't had joy

She has been gone for a while now

And she won't be bcak again, that I can vow

 

That young girl whose mind is so old

That young girl whose body is now cold

All she wanted was to have prue joy

Now, her body is now cold

 

That young girl who used to smile

Yeah... the one you haven't seen in a while

I was going through a hard time and needed a way to vent, so I sat down and wrote this poem.
