dead on arrival

By virginalnympho

no one came to her resuce
yes, she died that night alone
rotting away in her tattered flesh
aching to her broken bones
her tears stung without mercy
leaving burns on her milky skin
and no one heard her screams
they let her die in unforgiven sin
there with no one but herself
she fell apart in fragements
no one missed her easy smile
and that was her punishment
because she was so cold, so heartless
she died without a hand to hold
not a friend sent their sympathy
no one loved this misguided soul
