You Were Never A Little Girl Poem by Uriah Hamilton

You Were Never A Little Girl

Rating: 5.0


Your world is fragile glass
Every day breaking like bones
Against the heartless pavement
Of this dingy city where dreams disappear
In the blink of an eye
Like a thousand species
Growing extinct
In the dying rainforest.

Divorce and disintegrating family life
Stole from you a happy childhood
With the malicious hands
Of a marauding thief,
You were never a little girl.

Next time I see you
Stranded on some dirty street
In the hopeless dawn
With no fuel in your tank
To get back home,
Take my twenty free,
I won’t bother you for sex.

This is so sad, and too often the case, we reach a point in our lives where we realize that inorder of changing something on the outside first we must try and change something on the inside A great poem, Love Duncan x

The street is a lonely place to be without a protector.Your compassion becomes you, Uriah. Kindest regards, Sandra

A hard condition described with heart. But rather than 20, she needs a new start. -chuck
