Trapped In The Margins

He’s waiting for the girl he met and loved to return to him
But she’s gone now.
A woman returned in her place.
Damaged by mistreatment from strangers.
Aching to be that girl once more.
The one that he held at the beach that cool Summer night.
The one that he took to the movies.
The one that he drove to the mall.
The one that he looked at like she was his world.
He’s still waiting for her to return.
But she can’t because she died.
