The little girl sits with her numb legs
Pulled up around her frail body, hugging them to her chest
Humming a song, a melody, long forgotten, the words changed
ring around the rosie
pockets full of posies
gashes to ashes
i'm falling down...
Hallucinating and dizzy
She vomits on the cold stone floor, her breath dank
Black and blue bruises stain her pale skin
Chalky with youth and eye sockets cold
She's never stopped falling
And the shadows violate her shameful existence
Stealing her identity while at the same time
Abandoning her and her hurt; revealing her truth
Paws scuttle past her body huddled in the corner
Barefooted; she traces her heart in the dirt
Hoping someone will come to claim it for themselves
Because she has no use for the extra weight of the organ
Loss is too familiar to her
Her voice stands out in the silence
Clear but hushed lyrics
She curtsies to the invisible crowd of glowing eyes
And begins once more, for finality
ring around the rosie
pockets full of posies
gashes to ashes
can't catch me now...
