Sparkle

That sparkle in her eye is no longer there. All she does now is sit and stare. Stare  into space and wonder where did it all go wrong. Wonders if she'll ever find the man with whom she belongs. Wonders if she'll ever be the mother that she never had and give her child not a father, but a dad. She's not daddy's little girl cuz he was too busy chasing skirt tails to show her how a real man treats the woman he loves. Looking for love in all the wrong places, at least her body  has no traces of the sign of abuse that she's been taking. Neglected, abused, mistreated, and misused..yet and still she longs for a love that isn't returned. Tear stained pillows and eyes swollen from numerous nights of crying, sobbing, and then theres always the headache that comes with its throbbing. the sparkle in her eye is no longer there,  She yearns for the day  when that sparkle in her eye will return, for then she will know she's found love and it's been returned.
