A girl who is neglected and alone waits for death to fall upon her. She watches the smoke that comes near her and thinks back on her lonely life and to the stranger who looked at her once.
As the smoke loomed
it got lower and lower
slowly revealing to me my doom.
It revealed to me my fate
My fate was coming to me all too soon.
We all know that living
is only a temporary state.
Now if you hear these words
you shall know that I am dead.
There is nothing to dread.
Think of instead
of all of the happier moments
that we had shared ….
That is if you had cared.
If you had dared,
even for the briefest moment,
to look my way.
To try to care for me.
But you see
no one really cared
That is why the smoke loomed
However so slowly
it lead me to my doom
and I embraced it.
