Dark Streets in the Cold

By l mo

Alone
In the dark
In the rain
In the cold

Afraid
She won't get home
She won't be found
She won't live

Young
Innocent
Only nine
Only a child

Unloved
By Mama
By Papa
By Siter

Wanting
To be loved
To be safe
To be away from them

Dark streets
Dark figures
Dark Night
No one around

Terrified
To see Mama
To see Papa
To see Sister

Crying
She lost her way
She lost her battle
She lost her life
