The Diary of a Fallen Girl

different

A girl speaks. The boy doesn't look over to see her hoodie-covered expression, doesn't even hear her. She isn't loud enough, and for the years that followed, she never was.

A girl speaks again, and this time, a boy hears her. He doesn't listen though, it goes in one ear and out the other. He poisons her words and burns them at the stake. Her own heart is lost by time that the boy is gone.

The girl whispers now. Her voice is directed towards a different boy, one that doesn't know what she wants. The girl throws all her words at him, wasting her energy on the tiniest bits of hope. He leaves too.

The girls voice doesn't exist as she finds another boy, one with sea green eyes and a false-innocent smile. She communicates with thoughts, and she finally trusts him. Everything is thrown out the window once the boy tells the girl that it's her fault she can't speak.

The girl has long since given up. She only listens now, because she's learned that it always hurts less if she knows that she didn't try. If she doesn't put in any effort, it's never wasted.

Suddenly, another boy meets her. The girl makes no effort, but this time, the boy is the one speaking. She's captivated by his words; the first twenty-three. They promise of hope and new beginnings, and the girl is a goner.

The girl and the boy exchange a few words, and she silently prays that he will be different.

The boy prays for the same.
