Lost Dreams
In the tiny box buried deep, forgotten
Lays an abused and trampled girl
Curled upon her shattered heart
That lie no larger then a pearl
Only a burden, a sentient piece of trash
With dried cheeks streaked with pure salt
Dreaming of the warmth of being cherished
And never put at unreasonable fault
She merely wishes to be noticed
Craving to gain that vibrant gift of love
To bask within true feelings of compassion
That have since been left to rot and disposed of
In that tiny box that’s now hidden from the world
Is the damaged parts of a morbid girl
Broken beyond that of repair
With freedom’s wings that can never unfurl
Buried deep lies what she has cast off
For the cruelty of her existence weeps
A home in which to call her own,
Lay only in scarlet bled dreams
