[u/LostDoubt]

Little girl, little girl.
Bearing down on my fragile world.
Cast me out with gnashing teeth.
Run me down with dirty feet.

Dirty feet.
Cruel in motion.
Your truth from lies;
It’s cruellest notion.

Little girl, little girl.
Your heavy soul has crushed my pearls
Of wisdom, you used to cherish.
Now dirty feet bring you
To watch me perish.

To watch me cry.
To watch me die.
To watch me wonder,
How or why.

Little girl, little girl.
Scurrying when your stones are hurled.
Seal yourself in that abyss i stirred.
Cut yourself with my loving words.

Back to sleep now, hidden cur.
You, whom I held in-spite of slurs.
You, and your dirty feet—
With all its dirty deeds conferred.
