Untitled 2
Cradling a doll, tightly held to her chest
I watched the child
Standing alone, staring blankly into the night
Loveless as the cloud-darkened moon
Silently, a shadow pierced a frightened soul
Offering solace in the face of bleak nothingness
Drawing another life quietly into the void
Noone spoke with soundless voice
Noone watched with sightless eyes
The doll dropped
Only I cried
The doll shattered
Her spirit died
Back to Wise Words
