Catherine Lamberton

You poor little girl,
You never grew up.
Trapped in this vessel
Your feelings erupt.

Lost in the shuffle,
Daddy's love you desired.
Always the best,
Yet nothing transpired.

Worry and fear,
Only emotions you knew.
Hidden from the world,
No one had a clue.

Your smile was false,
You lived such a lie.
You did what you had to,
Anything to get by.

The fear, the sadness,
The doubt never ceased.
Tucked deep inside,
The anxiety increased.

Haunted by your feelings,
Reckless you became.
Adding to the chaos,
Guilt,hurt and shame.

You poor little girl,
I know you are here.
I'll take care of you now.
There's nothing more to fear.

Four years have now passed,
my hearts still not whole.
Pieces forever missing,
with your death, they were stolen.

The beginning proved the toughest.
Depression sunk in hard.
Just went through the motions,
yet eternally to be scarred.

Reminded through your pictures
of the life that you once knew.
Your smile ever so captivating,
those eyes of ocean blue.

Your presence is a constant,
felt in the sunrise and sunset.
Shooting stars, heart shaped rocks,
YOU... I am never to forget.

Your memory will be everlasting.
Still your voice I miss the most.
Oh, just to hear you laughing
or just to feel you close.

Four years now have passed.
No, my heart's still not whole.
Yes, pieces forever will be missing,
but your life...it changed my soul.
