once apon a time
in a place called home
there was a little girl
stuck in a war zone
she cried out for help
screaming for days
but none could hear her
until it was too late

again in that time
in the same place
they finally realized
it was their mistake
no one helped her
mentally not around
now the little girl
is in the ground

in a sad time
in a shaded place
few people crowded
a lifeless face
blood red roses
laced near pale cheeks
a sweet soul in heaven
she was finally free
