Left Behind

Her tears fall
Like the rain in a storm
Her Pain grows
As if being nurtured by a mother
No one hears
Her loud screams
Her pleas for help
She cries
Alone
Forgotten
Abandoned
The girl you once knew
Curls up in a ball
Hiding from the world
Her tears still flowing
The pain still growing
The world left her behind
