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
