the girl with no face

what happened to her?
the girl with the no face.
was she too beautiful, too ugly?
or just not enough for grace.


the story goes for the girl with no face,
she cried and cried, and never ceased.
no one knew why, nor stopped to ask,
but they all hoped the stars would bring her peace.


all through the day and all the through the night,
the girl with no face, wept her relentless weep.
her sobs were heard no matter where or when,
awful they were of someone wounded too deep.


morning, noon, and night the girl was cursed with sadness,
so much so, her face began to fade.
the more she cried, the more she wiped away,
there was soon to be nothing left where a beautiful face once laid.


if only they knew what depressed her so,
maybe they could of helped before it was too late.
showed her mercy and peace that she is yet to feel,
or helped her to find light before her dark, dreary fate.


there is nothing for them to do for her now,
except to hope that someday she will find grace.
awaiting the day her tears will end,
no longer being the girl with no face.
