Losing The Only One

Watch the girl
who's always smiling
always laughing and talking.
Ignore her eyes
that shows the pain
she hides within lies.

Her smile can brighten
any room. And her laughter
can warm any heart.
But the fakeness of it all
kills her inside.
Like she's giving away
every ounce of joy
left in her body.

I've watched her long.
Can recall there was a time
when she made others happy
and kept herself
whole.
I'm still watching.
She's slipping from my
grip. I can't save her, but

I'm the only one
who wants her
to come back home.

I love her.
She doesn't love me.
I'm still chasing her.
She's still lost.
She can't see I'm right here.

And now
neither can I.
