There’s a picture of you
In a magazine
A story of you
No longer seen
There’s a theory about
Where you might have been
The tears of the lost
They flow for you
There’s so little left
For the world to do
And so little hope
That you’ll somehow pull through
There’s a plea from the heart
Of your family
There’s hope that the shadow
Has some empathy
But this flickering candle
Is so hard now to see
There’s a picture of you
In a magazine
There’s stories of where
You last were seen
And poems about
The girl you might have been
And poems about
The girl you might have been

This gave me chills! The ache of losing someone and not knowing where they are is terrifying. You captured the pain and mystery in this poem
Thank you so much! 🙂 🙂
This is so sad, as a child there was a cult/group in the city I lived abducting blonde-haired blue-eyed children and my mom was very paranoid about them nabbing me
Wow, there was a group a bit like that in Australia too – creepy. 😦
it is creepy
Intense and powerful!
Thank you, much appreciated!! 🙂 🙂
