She was so beautiful.
So full of life.
Brilliant and happy.
Once upon a time.
Now, darkness encircles her eyes.
Pain visible on her face.
Never smiling,
always hurting.
She's still beautiful,
underneath all her pain.
Her beauty is just waiting,
waiting to break free.
One day her prince
will come and save her,
just like in the fairy tales.
Because lately, that's all she's got left to believe in.
