The Girl In The Corner

She sat there on her own
Nothing but silence;
The room empty
Just her sitting in the corner.

She started to scream
But no one came
'Forgive me' she said
Again and again.

She sat there and cried
Her heart breaking the hole time
“All you had to do was listen”
She said with tear filled eyes

“My baby, my girl”
She cried out with fear
“I know it was me”
“Only now I can shed a tear”

This is when I realised
The women’s mistakes
The child she now loves
Lies dead in a grave

She gave no name
She said nothing else
Just sat there and cried
All by herself.
