They Forgot To Be

The little girl asked 'Do you love me?"
"Yes," they replied, "now leave us alone!"
The little girl said "You love her more!"
"Now don't be silly, I'm quite busy. Your father's business burned down today, we 
have no time for this."
The little girl ran, she was found and dismissed as additional stress.
It passed along as days that were not meant to be.
It continued as coldness that never ends.
And then one day,they grew older, and  the little girl came to realize  the truth,
 that family would never be hers.
