I used to know a girl

who had a pretty smile.

she liked to braid her hair

and treat the world with care.

suddenly she disappeared

lost and never found.

i didnt know what happened to 

the girl who never frowned.

so i started searching

and i looked everywhere.

until i stopped and found her

when i looked into the mirror.

I didnt understand at first

where the girl had gone.

but then i noticed that her eyes

used to be my own.

at one time bright with happiness

now just sad, a dark abyss.

I dont know how to get her back, 

the girl with braided hair.

but i know that she is hiding 

right beneath my stare.
