I'm Thinking About this One Girl...

I’m thinking about this one girl…

She sacrificed most of her life for this one boy,

Journeyed through hell for this one boy…

I watched her deteriorate

From a happy generous Angel into a Medusa.

She used to be able to fly, until he cut off her wings.

She used to be able to sing, until he choked her neck.

She used to be able to dance, until he broke her legs.

He tied a chain around her waist and dragged her around to show her off.

Her red mane billowing, she finally roared in defiance,

But he yanked her down.

She transformed from that snowy bird into a house kitten,

And he left her for other mates,

Fully aware of her trembling in the corner.

Her fingertips grew colder.

Her toes grew stiffer.

Her tears froze and heavied her face.

A brilliant metamorphosis into a statue.

He touched her shoulder, still expecting her to tag along,

But bit by bit her cement body crumbled

And he left her for the next lion cub.

She still sits in a pile in the cave, slowly turning from cement to marble,

As God’s pet snake circles around her.
