A Little Girl Without a Doll

alone on a step, cold, hungry and tired, the girl awaits, to be aspired abandoned, once sold, whisked away, it was told, she pines for the doll, that lives in her soul. a soul of care, a moment to breathe, a mothers memory, cast out - seethe. taken and used, powerless, abused, the doll a tool, to amuse. her isolated run, kept hidden from some, she sits in the cold, awaits your arms - just hold. 25/10/2018
