It was
an old
coal fire
that
she fell
in
the flames
untamed
licked her
skin
going insane
with pain
neglected again
mummy
wasn't there
didn't care...
skin sizzling
off
only five
years old
the neighbour
that helped
had a
heart of
pure gold
to hold
her gently
in his arms
as he pulled
her from her
hell
from inside
the burning
flames
where she
fell
little girl with
a burnt arm
died
but she
survived
scars all over
her body
LITERALLY
from head
to toe
but mum
you should
know...
you're
beautiful
to me
