Frozen Tears

Saline water , 
drips down her cheeks , 
cold and frozen , 
from her eyes it leaks .

She weeps , 
sniffing , 
all the grief , 
inside herself .

They abandoned her..
she's found on the street ..
with a box of matches... 
and nothing to eat .

Her mother is no more , 
her dad is asleep , 
with a loud snore , 
a mouse creeps up his sleeve .

Thin and weak , 
like a fairy's frail wings ,
her eyes red ,
pain flaring in her.

She can't bear it , 
she is going to go,
meet her mother , 
and have a happy heaven life...
