Playground

Pretty little girl with pigtails 

Loving her swing 

Asking for someone to play

You blink suddenly

Gone in an instant 

Realizing the little girl is gone 

Outloud you scream

Underestimating yourself 

No one saw what happened to the girl in pigtails

Drowning in your own sorrow, while the swing is still swinging.
