The girl I once knew

sang merrily while lying on the damp grass,

read stories out loud to her dolls;

played with a bright pink tea set.

But now

she only sings while no one is hearing,

She lights up the room,

ignites the fire in their souls,

so conspicuous and a fire so bright,

never missed and never misunderstood.

He holds his breath,

waiting for her to notice,

Greed,

never-ending and formidable

wanting more than you have

satisfaction is an enemy

you are warned.

Envy,

a desire that cannot be shattered

always lurking around in every corner

petals

a blend of pastel colors unfold

as a flower blooms and thrives

in the awakened blossoms of spring

water

One,

tender, small hands

reaching for the bottle of milk,

the contents inside sloshing around.

Two,

dragging a faded stuffed bunny

around the kitchen’s island,

one… more… step…

Three,
