Society Bright-eyed babe
prayed for love
at bedside bowed.
Screaming sounds
outside slivered door
keeping her awake.
Fragile child
with frayed faith
wished for silence.
Crawling into herself,
she cried quietly
into little cupped face.
She fell asleep
with stained cheeks,
dreaming of heaven,
a place far from home.
