Forgotten
Dated photos lay crumpled
On the floor
I kneel next to them,
Shoulders hunched
I can't remember
If they belong to me.
The little girl looking out
From the photos
Has light brown ringlets
That dangle at her cheeks,
A dandelion crown lay
Lopsided atop her head.
Sunshine illuminates
Her hazel eyes
As tears fill mine,
Spilling over and splashing
Onto the photo like rain.
