Her Secrets
Nothing could stop her
When she walked into the room
Always a few minutes late
Eyes fell upon her
And she knew it
She’d always greet familiar faces
And sometimes those she didn’t know
She always wanted to be the star of every show
Her dream was to become an actress
She worked so hard
As if she had something to prove
She never missed a single day of school
She was always busy
But still managed to look beautiful
Even on what she would call her bad days
With her glasses on and her hair tied up
Actually, I liked her better that way
Needless to say, I was curious about her
Her smiles were frequent
Her voice was loud
She stood confident switching often through large crowds
She was the kind of girl,
Other girls wanted to hate
But couldn’t because she was just too friendly
The type of girl every guy wanted to date
She seemed too honest
But she had a big secret
She’d tell you a million stories about her crazy weekends
But there’s one thing she never mentioned
And that was at home
She never talked about her family
As if she didn’t have her own
But one day she told me
About her parents divorce
Her mom was a psycho
There’s holes in her walls
They’d fight and get violent
Her real dad was gone
And the one she grew up with was about to be too
I understood how she felt
but didn’t know what to say
She changed the topic
Before she went that day
She left with a big smile
But her eyes were heavy in a way
And I didn’t stop her
She’s the kind of girl
All the guys wanted to date
But she can’t trust guys anymore
Maybe it’s better that way
They would just use her
For her pretty face
They didn’t know her
Days went by
She hadn’t been in school
For about a week
I wondered where she had gone
And I wasn’t the only one
When she finally returned
She wasn’t the same
Her fast, loud voice
Spoke at a slower pace
Her smile told a lie
But her eyes spoke the truth,
So deep and blue
And I didn’t know what to do
I can’t believe I let her leave that day
Stupid me, why’d I have nothing to say?
I’ve been through tough times
I know what it’s like
But I couldn’t think of anything
To make those sad eyes bright
I couldn’t make her feel better
Before she went away
I know I should’v told her
How I felt that day
She stays home on the weekend
And barely answers her phone
This social little butterfly
Now walking on her own
She knows no one can help her
From her trench of a black hole
Seemed to have it all going for her
Little did I know
That sad eyes had a story
Her appearance a facade
For that happy girl
Was truly sad and alone
She finally realized
She can’t party away her feelings
Or drink to relieve the pain
Because nobody would look for her
If she didn’t come home
Nobody called her when she was gone
So she’ll never know
But she was on my mind 24/7
I just kept it on the low
She was so friendly
Because she was alone
This just goes to show
You never really know
What a person’s like
Until you know about their home
Sad eyes is beautiful
Soon I’ll let her know
She certainly did put on
quite a show
