Love Her?  9-20-01

Little girl dreaming -
saying her prayers
every single night...
(almost).
Little girl crying
over things she
can't change -
she still makes
child-like wishes
(about grown-up things).
So many times she
has painted her own
story...
(maybe a little darker
than necessary).
No matter how deep
(or shallow),
her cuts still bleed.
She is a tiny version
of what she really
wants to be -
only a fraction.
Little girl believing
in something that
(someone who)
abandonded her...
She knows it wasn't
fair...  She knows how
badly she hurts...
(Maybe she's not such a)
Little girl
lying but only to
herself...  she is good,
she is honest
(with everyone else).
So did he
(does he)
love her?
Little girl afriad,
because here
she
feels
small...
