Listen
A little girl
Used to be so peaceful
Skipping on the road
Selling flowers
And secrets
To anyone that would just
Listen
A little girl
Used to be so full of life
Breathing
Laughing
Jumping
Selling flowers
And thoughts
To anyone who'd
Listen
A little girl
Is now so cold
Lying on the street
Lips as blue as the flowers
She used to sell to
Anyone that'd listen
Eyes that used to be so full of joy
Are as dull as the road
Her body lays upon
People pass
Not even glancing
At the girl
Who would never again sell flowers
Or hope
To anyone who'd
Listen
