Lost Child

I watch her
Without her notice
So fragile is her smile
She walks along the streets alone
Creating a delicate buffer zone
So none can penetrate her space
So all who pass leave her alone

I long to somehow reconnect
The severed bond that once was ours
But now is not the proper place
She cannot yield her hard fought space
I must respect her right to choose
Or chance she'll go, without a trace

Oh, how I love my wayward child
Who walks away as I remain
I wish that I could take her pain
Help her to find her heart's desire
In hopes she'll come back home again
