There's another little girl,
lost,
on another corner,
of another street.
You don't see her.
Walk on by her.
Yesterday's paper blowing in the wind.
Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    :) Much thanks, folks! And I agree, it is like a little snippet of something more but that's just what I wanted it to be. I wanted the reader to maybe think, "who is this girl and what happend to her?" thereby giving her the attention that the passerby in the poem did not...draw your own conclusions and such. :)
