She's All Alone

She is all alone on the dirty streets downtown It’s starting to get cold as the sun is going down Will she have to spread her wings to make it through the night? Or sleep with one eye open and be prepared to fight? She was once somebody’s little girl; she used to laugh, she used to play Now she’s lost in this great big world, she just had to get away Will you help her find her way? Please don’t just look away Seems like it was so long ago, since she was loved and warm When she felt like she could trust and felt protected from harm She hides away each evening to a place inside her mind Life seems to smile on some, for others it’s unkind Where do dreams go to die when we finally have to let them go They leave an empty space inside and can make you feel so alone Make you feel so alone - she feels she’s all alone

WOW Kevin what a truly beautiful poem and voice for the homeless and addicted out there alone, freezing and afraid. Your poem is so caring and it touched my heart. Such sadness in this world….Debx
