© Unheard ~h~

A distant cry wailing out to the world
A cry unheard, that sad poor little girl
Her tears so icy they chill the room
Because she's cold inside, her soul feels doomed
Feeling so alone, no one cares
Just wanting a friend, maybe a companion
Does anyone dare?
Lost so much, gained nothing that matters
Still she presses on, climbing that rickety ladder
The ladder of life, random, not written
Her heart gone through so much
For now, it is hidden
Broken and battered, surrounded by a river
A river of tears, empty husk, floating as her soul withers
Night after night, the nocturnal descends
Wondering when, when will it end?
Wanted to give up, not knowing how
It's like a curse, how much can she allow
The pain of loneliness, a pain like real pain
You went away mom, now nothing is the same
A heart of gold, giving it all to unforgiving life
Hoping to be rewarded for all her gentle strives

Sigh!.........

Though she prays, she knows only one hears
She holds strong to her ideals of life, never giving in
As the sun sets and rises upon the sphere of souls
She is certain, that she will press on, she will be bold
She says to herself,
“I think of the afterlife, seems so sweet…
Can't be worse than living this life…
A knife like life, cutting so deep”
No reconciliation for the entire struggle
Still she holds on to faith, can’t give in
Sweet nectar of faith, she visits from time to time
It's the only thing that keeps her climbing that steep brittle climb
Though I speak of a girl, because of my prompt, I truly speak of myself….
I figured through her then maybe the world would care to see
Sigh!...... loneliness
