Song of the fallen

Did you mourn that child that was

Full of hope and love?

The future was her kingdom

The world her oyster

She would go out conquer all

She will toil unwavering

Use her talents unashamed 

Hone her skills

It was written in the stars, inevitable

You could see it in the her eyes, sparking

Toss of her hair

Upturned neck

Wild loud laughter

she was there before

thousand cuts

million bruises

endless pointless battles

careless

ceaseless 

loveless

joyless

Did you noticed when she perished

of hunger

and thirst 

toiling beside Sisyphus

up the hill

day after day

year after year

Did you mourn her?

Does it shatter your heart

when you met her again

In the apple of your eyes?
