She closed the book
That started with once upon a time
And finished with the end
A story about a little girl who grew up
Nothing good at hand
But nothing truly bad either
In fact nothing really happened at all

She closed the book
That started with nothing
Finished with nothing
A story about a little girl who gave up
Everyone left
And no one came back
And even if they did

She had already closed the book
That started with hopeful words
And finished with a hopeless life
A story about a girl who was fed up
Because there was nothing for this girl
Not a single thing good or bad
So she shut the book and nobody opened it again
