Poets
Corner
(Jolene
Hilliam)
The
girl.....
The friendly girl live on the streets,
the odd tablet her only treat.
Lost, young and so vulnerable,
but her mind was still unstable.
All she ever wanted was love and hope,
without these two she could not cope.
Scrounging for some food,
but always in a pleasant mood.
She never knew her father and mother,
the truth a few times she tried to uncover.
It was her beloved boyfriend,
who had set the tablet trend.
Now she lay on a hospital bed,
totally losing her head.
Her innocent, pretty face, was pale and white,
she was certainly a sorry sight.
The boy she loved so much was nowhere to be seen,
for her life he obviously wasn't that keen.
The life cut drastically short,
because of the tablet he brought.
He sometimes visits her grave,
but he has never shed a thought about those he could save.
For he is only the drug dealer,
so why should that make him a healer?
