What Happened To the Girl

Look
what do you see
a past together and whole
a girl who wrote
released the pain
laughed on the pages
screamed out her anger
She had a way with words
and who is she now
that girl with the pencil
where did she go
what happened to her joy
what happened to the laughter
she hides it all away
the pain 
the tears
she's lonely for her lover
dead beneath the ground
she misses the sister
supportive through it all
time steals it away
the girl had to grow
here she stands a woman
she's suffered in life
stands strong before you
and now she wonders
where do I go now
