See her there near a bridge Staring away trying to dismiss She never had a home Her father walked, mama drank, she was alone Always on her own Destined to grow cold Somewhere she’s falling Desperately calling Dreams were stolen A debt of love frozen I watch her hoping She won’t fall away To another place Somewhere she can laugh and play Destroying her days pained If you could see inside her, you’d find tears instead of blood, streaming from her heart Desperately trying not to fall apart And we watch her just fall farther down Faceless in a crowd Dreaming of everything, but always without Still no one wonders how The math of her kind Minus few good times Plus her parents decline Multiply the scars of her mind Divided by a smile that never shines Equals a little girl forgotten, that’s God’s crime And still I watch her scream For all the things she’s seen All her years that bleed All the smiles she never shared Does anyone know care? Stepping closer to the edge I run and reach, but she’s already floating from the ledge My fingers miss and brush her hair I felt the guilt of being another person who wasn’t there She floats on leaving all behind No one tried to save her mind Brush tears from her eyes She floats farther down My tears, your tears, it’s too late to save her now She’s a fallen angel, just let her fly somehow “she’s free!!!” I shout I cried when I heard that she had a smile on her face when she was found. -Xerxes |

This one sort of reminds me of some of the children out on the streets around here. They really have no place to go, because their parents just can't get it together. Great use of words! I give a whole new meaning to the word 'sad.' |

"I felt the guilt of being another person who wasn’t there"... I think that was the strongest line in your poem or shall I say prose? Anyway, it was a great read into your imagination (I'm crossing my fingers that didn't really happen). "You do what you do, you say what you say, you try to be everything to everyone... come on now, do that stupid dance for me" -Everclear |
