I used to...

I used to rise with the sun.

I used to dream of love.

I used to chase butterflies.

I used to laugh and frolic.

I used to chatter and giggle.

I used to delight in simple joys.

I used to love dancing in the rain,

And feel the cool wet grass below my tiny feet.

I used to follow rainbows.

I used to have stars in my eyes and flowers in my hair,

But love left me.

Now I only cry into the night.

Loneliness and silence are my constant company.

I am broken and dead inside.

I used to be alive,

Now I’m only a soul-less empty shell.
