And her heart shattered like the waves
that crashed
against the shore.
Her fake smile
cracked
like plaster.
Her pretty
little world,
painted bright and colorful
drained of all it's
color.
And that was
the day,
the happiest girl in the world
became the black
and gray girl.
'Cause I don't wanna
waste
another moment, I don't wanna pay
for things unspoken, I just wanna
race with arms wide open; take a shot
in the dark to be where you are
