Olive's Poem

Sitting in the dogwood, tears shining on her face

Silent, solitary, alone in it’s embrace

Grasping at a picture frame

Happiness frozen in time

The smile

The light

It can only be valued

If you know what it’s like when it’s gone

And he was gone

Yes he was gone

Very, most definitely gone

The yellow bus had seen to that

It smiled at her though lying eyes

for it knew what it had done

She smiled back to make it think

It was only games and fun

Indeed it was funny

in a dark malicious way

How someone could be happy

then have it trickle away

Much like a puzzle

Someones life can be

Once a piece is missing

It’s clear for all to see

It can’t go long before being found

even though it tries

The picture shown is clear

The broken heart

It cries
