In the dark winter snow
On that dark winter night
Sat a tiny young girl
Sobbing in fright
Her hands were in shackles
Cutting deep into her skin
She'd been trapped there for quite a while
And was becoming quite thin
The girl didn't understand
What she'd done to deserve this
So she sat in the dark
thinking of all the things she'd miss
Her mother,
Her father,
All those older siblings,
she'd loved to bother
But with a shocking realization
The girl produced a thought
'Though it's obvious I'm missing,
why am I not being sought?'
So the tiny girl cried harder
her thoughts turning dark
And she died that night
in the shed of the abandoned park
Her parents found her body
the very next day
And they sat down beside her
deciding they'd stay
Their reasoning was abnormal
their actions not acting quite right
they wanted to see
how their daughter had felt on the previous night
So they sat in the shed
until they too became thin
They spoke not a word
their own thoughts becoming dim
And they sat in the same corner
on an identical cold winter night
as they thought of their daughter
who'd cried sobbing in fright
For these parents had not been looking for her
she'd simply been found
Lying dead,
on the hard wooden ground
Tears leaked from their eyes
as they thought of their mistake
because the theif had been hired
to take the girl from the house by the lake
The couple died that night,
smiles lighting their faces that stared straight ahead
because they never really cared
that their daughter was dead.
