• There was once a girl,
    Standing alone in her window,
    The light behind her,
    Turned her hair into a halo,
    She stared upward,
    At the night sky,
    A look of longing on her face,
    I thought her sad,
    I wished to stay,
    And comfort her,
    Empty, I left,
    I saw a girl once,
    In her coffin,
    I remembered her,
    From a window,
    A week before,
    Her sad face peaceful,
    A peace she felt this once,
    I wished I met her,
    Before she met cement,
    I wished I stopped,
    And gave her something,
    Something pleasant to rest her mind on,
    Now she rests her head,
    On a pillow in the ground,
    And I remember,
    There once was a girl,
    Standing alone in her window.
