the day her father died

she didn’t even cry,

she stood there, emotionless,

hoping to go back in time.

she wanted to believe

that it was only just a dream,

that everything would be alright

when she knew it wouldn’t be.

the days blended together,

she lost her smile forever,

like it was some ghost in earth

that wouldn’t be the same ever.

she couldn’t go back in time,

she couldn’t get back her smile,

she hasn’t even cried

since the day her father died.
