Faded

Your colour has started to fade The light you had is disappearing Where are you going? Mummy look what I have made But you never look Just turn so I face you back Every time I tried to speak to you You just had me another book Where did you go? Did daddy make you this way? Don't think he meant it Mummy why are you so low? My only answer is the ticking clock as you bolt another door Trapping us inside Closing another lock Please, mum, don't leave me alone Her eyes begin to swell She rocks back and fourth Huddled in her home,
