the death of innocence

once upon a time, there lived a girl. this girl had everything to offer, and nothing to lose.
one day, this young girl met a boy. he was a nice boy, as far as boys his age are concerned. he gave her flowers. he wrote her notes. he surprised her with all things considered sweet. he called her beautiful. so she gave him her heart.
but one day, the girl woke up and the boy was gone. and in the space where he had stood, lay the pieces of her heart. the one that she had given him.
and the little girl who once had so much to offer and nothing to lose, was left with nothing to offer.

and everything was lost.
