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.
