I know a girl...
a special, unique girl
The girl sits
On a wild unkempt lawn
beneath a tall, demeaning willow tree
I know a girl...
a girl that feels
pain
and sorrow
As the sun sets into the folds of the sky
The girl looks out into the jet black night and sees
no stars, none at all
only a fierce, cruel world
I know a girl...
A girl who has never felt the tenderness of a mothers touch
Nor the stern but kind hand of a father
Her heart grows colder
and harder within each passing
It seems as though
the girl has lost all hope
and then one day
the girl was gone
no trace left behind
people soon forgot
went on with their daily lives
Only the willow tree left
its leaves, once livley
now wilted away
brown clunks of charred branches
gnarled trunk ripped from its roots
it waits for someone to take the girls place
to sit beneath it
to show it that it is not alone in this world
