People shuffle past the box
Gaze at the face and curly locks
Burdened with the weight of years
They don’t bother to hide their tears

Sorrow descends, a heavy depression
Trailing behind the silent procession
Weaving, circling, then comes to rest
Upon the one who death possessed

The child to whom they pay their respect
Is wrong is some way they cannot correct
From their lips escape soft cries
As they wish their little girl would rise

Those lips that spoke, the cheeks that flushed
Now lie still, forever hushed
The eyes that sparkled and danced with glee
Motionless stare and do not see

The mourners whisper past and sway
And slowly they all drift away
Leaving the memories, leaving the pain
Leaving the child so cruelly slain

She lies forever in this place
The little girl with the stone cold face
She lingers still in the heart and mind
Her links to the world she left behind

ninja, if you're so adamant it's not hers, why not show us a link to the poem you think she stole it from? ( which I doubt she did. If there's similarities, they're probably nothing but a coincidence )

Sorry but there is a poem almost like this that was put online on a different site a couple years ago. It was before you and parts of it made more sense. You edited parts. I've had mine stolen and it's easy to report because they submit it after you. Sorry but I'm done here. Grow up kid

Actually I made this up by myself. I hate people who copy other people's work just as much as you do, and am outraged that you think I stole this. I'm sorry if it resembles something submitted earlier.

Its very nice but unfortunately I check everything and this poem has been stolen and altered. You need to remember that with just the words and a search you can find any poem if it has been and I checked the dates. It was put online 2 years ago so I give you 5/5 for being a good poem finder and 1/5 because this is not yours and i cant rate 0.
