lost angel

poem viewing myself as a child

Stare into her eyes
They’re so innocent full of good
Pale cheek never felt a tear
Her ears so naïve to the evil sounds of the world
Who could bear to hurt her?

Look at her play and live life
So happy, so carefree
Always a smile on her face
When she laughs, time stands still
Who could bear to take all that away?

Replacing it with hurt
Her eyes seen too much
Her ears heard too much
Too many tears shed too soon

Replacing it with sadness
Her face so set in stone
No more smiling
Or laughing or playing

Left to fend for herself
In a world where everyone looks over her
Left all alone
