A Crack in the World

This is the story of the girl
who fell in to the cracks between the world.
Who found herself among all that is lost,
all that is unloved, unwanted, all that has been forgot.

This is the story of the girl,
trapped in the cracks between the world.
Who at first tried hard but couldn’t escape,
Until she realised this life was now her fate.

This is the story of the girl,
resigned to living in the cracks between the world.
As she gave up on hope and began to fade
slowly becoming another trapped shade.

Then there is the story of the boy who saw the girl
as he stood on the edge of the cracks between the world.
And they fell in love at first sight so they say,
though what happened next is a story for another day.
