Sweet little girl <br />A puppet of this world <br />What is it you fear? <br />You want to be brave <br />But then <br />Words Unsparingly <br />Etched into your heart <br />An echo of an emotion <br />Undulating down <br /> <br />Sitting in your little box <br />Is that where you hide? <br />Sitting quietly in your chair <br />Hoping no one else will find <br />Tell me what it is <br />The things that make you cry <br />I can keep a secret <br />I will <br />Promise I won't lie <br /> <br />You once were the solace <br />For all of my sorrow <br />Take back the memories <br />I've done nothing wrong <br />and yet <br />My tears of sadness <br />Became your cruel answer <br />And now your words will stay with me <br />Until the end<br /><br />Kristen Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-melancholic-poet/
