Then and Now

Laughter and cries Giggles and tears Yesterday and today Smiles and silent screams Hope and defeat Yesterday was so bright It promised happiness Love that would last forever A life filled with joy Today brings pain Nights spent weeping Tears staining the sheets A heart left broken and bloody I'm lost A ragged shell I'm no longer the girl he loved I'm just the empty shell Lost in the world Broken and forgotten
