A small bedroom sits in the corner of the house
Empty
Abandoned
Void of the laughter of yesterday
Her dolls lay abandoned
Waiting for her return
Not knowing what has happened
She left and they thought return was inevitable
But as the hours wore on they began to wonder
Two days passed and she had not returned
On the fifth day they found her body
Beaten, broken and lifeless
Thrown carelessly into a ditch
Her family knows the truth
She will not return
But yet her dolls
Lay on the floor
Waiting
