Her eyes danced
Sparkling in the shadows
Twinkling brightly
Lighting up her face in the darkness
She laughed
Spreading out her arms
Twirling around in her brand new dress
Her hair flew
Her cheeks flushing a rosy red
Flooding warmth into her shining face
Happy.
The next second, it was all gone
Vanishing within a split second
Merging with the darkness
That dark, suffocating sheet of blackness
It wrapped itself tightly around her
And she felt herself struggling for breath
She felt herself drifting away
But she stopped herself just in time
She tried to hold her head high
And she smiled
She might have been crying from the inside
She might have been torn
Ripped apart, burnt inside out
She might have been broken
But she smiled
She smiled on
She never stopped
Her eyes bright
Her voice merry
She might cry herself to sleep
Every single night
She might sob into the pillow
Her hair, a wild tangled mess
Her eyes red and puffy
Tears flooding down her cheeks
But she smiled
She smiled on
Neglecting herself
For others sake
Pushing aside
Her worries, her anger
She might've been exhausted
She might've been tired of it all
Head spinning, eyes watering
She might've been alone
She might've been deserted
She might've been devastated
She might've been broken
From the inside, and out
But she smiled
She smiled on
She tried.
