Poetic Justice

What would she say?

What would she say if she saw all
Your tears? If she saw all your feeble smiles?
If she saw right through those Lying eyes?

I know what she would say,
She would say, she doesn't know you,
She would say she has never seen you
In her entire lifetime.
She would tell you to go away,
And you would beg her to stay.

You would beg her,
Not to make the same mistakes,
You would pull her into your arms,
And tell her to never give up.
You would run your hand through her
Hair,
You would tell her to enjoy life.
You would hold her, and never want To let go.

She would look up at you,
And you would look down at her.
Those hopeful eyes,
Oh...that playful smile.
Those dirt marks on her cheeks,
Oh...that missing tooth.

What would she say?
Would you be her hero?
Would she want to be just like you?
Or would she think you're a failure?

Would she be proud?
Would she be hopeful?
Would she be wowed?
Or would she look at you like a
Stranger?

Do you wish to be her again?
Do you wish to see the world
Through those innocent eyes again?
Do you wish to smile for no reason Again?

But as she leaves, not understanding
Your uncalled for sorrow.
As she goes, not knowing why your
Eyes are so cold.
As she turns away from you, not
Knowing why your heart is so hard.

She runs around, that smile,
That smile that used to be yours,
Sketched on her face.
She runs around, with carelessness,
That carelessness once belonged to
You, believe it or not.
She runs, purity running through her
Veins.
That purity, was once your blood.
That innocent soul, beyond innocence
Is now only a faraway dream to you.

Do you miss her?
Is a question I ask.
Do you miss that uncensored tongue?
Do you miss that unbroken heart?

What would she say if she saw you
Now?
What would six year old you say if
She saw you now?

(A/n, writing this poem really made me think, and question what I was doing you know... Like it really made me ponder, how teenage years has changed a person, and I really wish I knew the answer to that question. What would she say?
