That girl that stands in the corner, that seeks shelter in the dark. She flinches when you raise your hand. She cowers to your stance, she can't breath around you. You make her afraid, you make her weak. She runs away, runs away, hiding her face in the covers. She grabs the clothes of her mother and she sets fire to her room. She grabs a torn picture and runs. She keeps on running down the road, burning all of her memories. She hits the bridge crying, screaming and cascading down. She smiles with no regrets, she smiles with no regrets. She holds onto that one picture. "Momma you were always cold but Daddy was always wrong. He tried to break us apart, make me leave you alone." She held onto her mother, letting the cries flow. Making a waterfall, until the light was shone. The crew looks around, nothing, sees a dark sweater floating. Her eyes are closed, her breaths are short, they rush her away. She puts up a fight, "No, I don't want to be alive." She rips away and takes off running, hitting the streets, burning the memories. She grabs her picture from her pocket, keeps on running. She steals more than she knows, but she can't live anymore. "Momma you were always cold, but Daddy was always wrong, he broke us, he broke me, I love you mommy." And she flies, tonight, with golden wings to her moms arms. And she doesn't cry, because her mom isn't cold anymore.
I really hope this is turned into a longer story, for better comprehension and the story line! it would be such a good story! I do like the not-knowing part though. it allows you to try and create your own story or think of what could be happening. Loved it!

Powerful story told in the story. I like the internal thoughts and the good ending. Love can warm-up a heart. You left the reader with something to think about. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

So sad! I love how it is emotionally strong. One typo I did catch on this is early in the story one of the words is missing an apostrophe it is the word "can't".
