Pages marked and filled,
ink spots are the remainders of sweet nothings
sweet promises that turned into
nothing
I tried to tell you, little girl,
"your life is a page
that men will want to write on"*
You paste a smile over the rifts
and try to erase the hurt,
but it runs deeper than the thin pages
Your pages stay open,
blindly wishing the hurt away
and for the contributors to take more care
Some chapters are unread
although the Prince Charmings have tried,
they cannot unlock the mystery held inside
Other pages are unwritten
unstained by fairy tale love
These are waiting for the true fairy tale
where you can live with your prince
'Happily Ever After'
*Quoted from the song "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" performed in "The Sound of Music" (1965)
