ORPHAN

She brushes away a blowing strand of hair

Like she would

Her loneliness

 

She tidies up her room by herself

Like her mom would

Unconditionally

 

She makes out her bank statements

Like her dad would

At the end of each month

 

She comes home to the TV

Like she would

To a loving family

 

She fills up her schedule with jobs

Like she would

Her emptiness

 

She looks in the mirror at night

Like staring into the eyes

Of an orphaned soul.
