She doesn’t look like that anymore, oh no, the innocence is already lost there, and now, she appears, in heavy makeup, dyed her hair too, she’s no longer, that child that begged for “just another bedtime story, daddy!” anymore.

She doesn’t look like that anymore, oh no, there’s something about her that’s quite different, and yet, you’d sensed, that yearning, that desire, to keep on, being her same, old self too, and the two contrasts are, still playing, that NO-WIN game of tug-of-war with her life.
