Hollow Girl

Come one Come all  

Step up to the show  

And witness the girl  

Of ashes, shadows, and snow  

The frozen heart  

That rests in her chest  

Once whole, a masterpiece  

Now hollowed, shattered, and distressed  

"Oh this wretch"  

"This fallen soul"  

The audience gasps  

While they skirt the toll  

"This hollow form, of spite and sorrow"  

Was once a girl who dreamed of tomorrow  

She sang tunes of blossoms and laughter  

Until life robbed her, and chased her disaster  

Among the throng  

All seated in rows  

A little girl lingers, in whispers and throes  

With daffodils dancing, and ribbons that glow  

She observes the wreckage  

Laid bare on the stage  

And finds in the chaos  

Her heart starts to gauge  

In hopes she can mend  

Before time slips away  

Before her heart hardens  

And transforms into clay.
