Picture a pretty girl in green

Her friends were not all what they seemed.

Giggled whispers in vacant air

You'd soon catch on that they weren't there.

Picture a pretty girl in red

She'd learned to hide her friends instead.

Scribbled writing soon testified

Her words could make them come alive.

Picture a pretty girl in gray

Exposed to worthless love today.

She closed her heart off to the world

And in her tales, true love unfurled.

Picture a pretty girl in pink

Who takes revenge with pen and ink.

So sick of seeing unseen hurt

The villains get their just deserts.

Picture a pretty girl in brown

Her eyes aglow with love she's found.

Stacks of forgotten fairytales

Were left, for real life made them stale.

Picture a pretty girl in black

She wished the clock would take her back.

Her writing took an eerie turn

As heartbreak clouded all she'd learned.

Picture a pretty girl in white

Whose tears drop on the page tonight.

Her words now lack the heart and soul

For which her stories once were known.

Picture a pretty girl in blue

Her mind now filled with thoughts of you.

The writer's block has left her dry

She can't forget, although she tries.
