The Girl Death Left Behind

She sat on a rock, watching the water

Trying to remember

How life could have gone so wrong

Her friends had all gone

And her family was dead

Where in this crazy world

Would she ever find peace?

From guilt that haunted her every waking hour

And the nightmares that haunted her sleep.

Where was the fabled sanctuary

That so many talked about.

Where could she go?

As shtchetched her reflection in the water

These thoughts came to her,

and another thought drifted slowly up.

Is there really a place in the world for me..

Will I always be the one who is....


.....left behind?
