Her

When did it go wrong?

It wasn't always perfect between us before, but there were a time the words I said reached her. I encouraged her and saw her regain her hope - her motivation. She was so beautiful then. Her eyes shone with determination, and her face radiated life. She was free and the sky was her only limit. She had big dreams, but... slowly, life shattered her. Time after time, I saw they quench her light. "Be realistic," they said. "Face it. You can't do it. You're not good enough." I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't. Because somewhere inside of me knew that they were right.
