Hop, skip and slump

Nothing left but an empty shell.

Every minute in the past you dwell.

All that’s good, passed you by;

Only hopes and wounds now open lie.

If life were but a mirage on water,

How swift we could, evil slaughter.

But alas it has been etched on stone;

Clinging to every drop of blood, every bone.

You can’t run, never that fast.

Stay Hidden? It would never last.

Escape, a choice not in the script,

A day late you realize you were tricked.

Hold your head high, reel those tears in,

Stumble not, for otherwise they win.

A smile that doesn't falter at the worst of times,

Words that have melody and always rhymes;

For let them not know, you are now a tuneless song,

The happy little girl is gone since long.
