On an otherwise bland wall
inside some lifeless house
on a no named street
located in a forgotten town,
there is a framed photo of a girl
With her stunning makeup and long black hair
her smile is wide with eyes that are bright
adorned with alluring accessories,
she’s beautiful in every sense of the word
Though,
she can’t- doesn’t see it
doesn’t want to see it
the makeup was caked on and the hair was never well kept
her smile is fake along with her dead eyes
a mask of what her family wanted from her
all she was just some cheap doll to be played with
The photo wasn’t taken too long ago
but the supposedly beautiful girl inside that beautiful photo
has been dead for years now
I should know after all
I killed her.
