The Final Breath of Babydoll

Babydoll once was radiant, smiles streaming across her face Until the day came darkness consumed silencing her words A voice once everyone enjoyed to listen, her laugh made a day of pain became sunshine with the mist of rain brush against their cheeks The moment others wanted to see her fault spreading lies to the ones so close to her the truth became silent without lips To form the expressions, she was pushed ,forced to withhold not speaking while thoughts of what it will feel at this moment to know the meaning of numb Floating beyond the silver lining clouds Reaching touching the tips of the stars shining so bright your eyes lost in the beauty forgetting how pain was ugly Not wanting to look back scared of falling into the moments of Watching the endless sea never ending as life is to be filled with love to share with that special someone Dreams created for us to imagine what is suppose to be Glancing past a stranger or your best friend kindness shows in every direction with calm sincere purity reveals itself Not lurking in shadows scared to have a voice because of replies others say to hurt bring tears unworthiness That is so untrue but they refuse to hear Please let me continue drifting away so far I forget what was even my name to a place you no longer need to breathe Someday a name maybe remembered and that was Babydoll once was her name
