Childhood

A girl at a lake
Standing alone
Cold, lonesome, forgotten
Left there by change
The world turns without her.

Her lips are ice
Breath with no mist
Hair done up in pigtails
The daughter of fate
She'll not be missed.

A faded dress
The remains of a toy
Items of life, love, happiness
Drowned by neglect
Childhood is her name.
