Bella and the Laughing Boy

 

Bella and the Laughing Boy

 

 

Bella played toy to the laughing boy,

Through the eons and the light years,

She whispered her precious melodies into his deaf ears,

She could not see past the beauty of his spirited face,

She used his broken promises to fill the empty space,

Bella gazed longingly into laughing boy’s blind eyes,

Falling asleep to the sound of a symphony of lies,

Than on redemption’s morning Bella saw a bird fall dead from the sky,

And lonely, little Bella fell on her knees to cry,

The laughing boy saw her crumble but never did ask why,

For he was busy laughing and did not wish to try,

Bella packed her bags and built a new dream fast,

Because everyone knows a one-sided love is never meant to last
