Clothes, unworn,
scattered on the floor.
A silver lock, helped close the door.
Do you hear the screams? They’re coming
from the top drawer.
The mirror, clouded with dust, splatters of
hairspray, powder.
Her music so loud, she’ll have to scream
louder.
Old toys covered in dust, untouched,
unloved.
Once came to life, now their colours faded from
the light.
Will she survive? This war?
She might.
But it’s clouded.
Unsure, if she’ll make it through the
night.
By me.
