she peeks out from under the floor
the boardings creaking overhead
only to see the shuffling of feet
people waking pass
without even realising
there's a scruffy looking girl waiting to be seen
could they hear the sniffling?
the wailings in the night
the letting go of emotions that just can't come out right
bats and spiders
swirling in her world
how beautiful these creatures yet can't go out in the light
her soul joined with these playmates
the blood they draw from her
a gift to keep her sane a curse she has to hide
insignificant she is
and will forever be
in the hidden corner just below their feet
no one enters
and she can't leave
this life of hers. is it what she wish?
