Hope Washed Away
Drenching cold in every fiber
Washing away the little girl
Who once believed she could fix anything
With hope...
Clinging to spiky reality
Like a tuft of white fur to a filthy branch
So painfully determined,
Yet unrelenting rain;
Torrents of raw emotions
And mudslides of despair
Saturate and smear her fragile innocence
Her hope will dwindle,
Slowly drowned
Until nothing more
Remains
Of that child
In the rain
