I hope that one day,
You’ll not stay online
Because you’ve seen him online
Staring at that blue tick
Soaking your pillows
Waiting for a text
That never comes.
I hope that one day,
You never again
Look for flaws
Cursing the mirror
Blaming your complexion
Blaming your height
Blaming and guessing.
I hope that one day,
You find grace
To erase the guile
To send him love
To let him go
He had to go
He wasn’t yours.
I hope that one day,
You meet the king
To see the queen
To happily ever after
And the scars you look
Only with a smile
Of a contented heart.
I hope that one day,
Your prince you tell
To never ignite fire and leave
Tell him that it’s cruel
Tell him that no one’s daughter
Deserves that
Yes, tell him that.
