she changed her hair
she wore sweet dresses
she become someone else
she wore a smile
she paraded a laugh, sweet curls and red lips
she was nothing like herself
she wore a necklace with the word 'wish'
she could only wish
she wished they'd see her
she wished someone would believe her
she made them fall for her
she made them hurt
she wasn't who they thought she was
she wasn't her
she didn't love them
she just wanted to be loved
she only then realised
she was never loved
she rubbed off her red lipped smile
she hid her mesmerising laugh
she stopped pretending
she was someone she was not
