A Girl Named “J”
X Wu
Once, there was a girl named “J”
She was born one summer day
Her eyes had flecks of green and gold
Indeed, she was a sight to behold
Once, there was a girl named “J”
Her smile will blow you away
Just one look and you will see
How precious she will be
Once, there was a girl named “J”
Nightly, everyone will pray
For her to look in their way
They’ll be rejoicing, they say
Once, there was a girl named “J”
Her presence was there to stay
Once you hold her, you’ll never want
To ever let go of her precious hand
Once, there was a girl named “J”
For her, you would be willing to slay

Another man which might claim her
Once, there was a girl named “J”
Sometimes, her hair would splay
She throws her head back when she laughs

Once, there was a girl named “J”
Her eyes would shine like a bright summer day
Her beauty was ethereal, endless
Anyone would want to run a hand through her tresses
Once, there was a girl named “J”

She can roll in the mud and play
And she will still be the most beautiful everyday
Once, there was a girl named “J”

With utmost love and extreme care
Once, there was a real girl named “J”
Around her, people never stay
Her eyes were dark and bleak and bleary
She was a hopeless case, entirely
Once, there was a real girl named “J”
Her life was only colored with gray
Her rainbows were colored dull
All she does was mull
Once, there was a real girl named “J”
She was a wallflower who never stays
The dark circles under her eyes
Were proofs of how tiring it is to get by
Once, there was a real girl named “J”
She was drowning in her own way
Her lungs were burning for air
But she bit her lip, and didn’t try to care
Once, there was a girl named “J”
No one noticed as she faded away
They were busy with their vulnerable worlds
That no one tried to tell her kind words
Once, there was a real girl named “J”
She was quiet, and never sways
She decided to run a blade across her veins
It bled red, and–
