The Sun That Morning

By cre

Lost on the floor
There wasn't any warning
Numbly I saw
The sun come up that morning

My eyes hurt
And my legs were stiff and cold
And the new barbie doll I got
Somehow seemed so old

Hardwood planks beneath me
And a dust-ruffle starched bright white
The cutest little girl's room
But I just wanted to shut out the light

Chubby little hands
Slowly fists were forming
And the twilight of those childhood years
Saw the sun come up that morning

Teddy bears and tea-sets
Were lost in this new world
So little mattered anymore
To this broken-hearted girl

A tired little body
In a puddle of my tears
Saw this life through different eyes
And a whole new set of fears

Soft eyes slowly hardened
And hatred began forming
By the time that night was over
And the sun came up that morning

"Soft eyes slowly hardened and hatred began forming" Your words evoke such lucid visions and describes actions so well, actions that leave others saying "you had to be there, words can't describe".

Great! You are left wondering what is was that the little girl went through that caused her inocence to turn to hatred, and for her to realize the truth of this world

Fantastic! You captured that feeling and moment in time so well, and the fact you never definitively named the cause allows it to become universal as the reader can insert their life-altering experience. Great job! Ciao, T/S

what excellent flow... and what a perfect description of that *nod to liquid* tragic descent from childhood to the stoic stone souled eyes of pain... it takes our innocence away.
