Bet you didn’t notice,
Just looked right past.
Well now you get to learn
All about what happened
To the invisible child
Sitting in that corner.

The child in that corner
Was once a happy face
To replace this there is only
Fake smiles, and see-through laughs.

The child in that corner
Lost everything she had.
Once there was a loving mother,
Once there was a handsome father.
Now there is only a black hole,
Sitting in her heart.

The child in that corner
Once had a home,
With a wonderful bed
And delicious food.
Now there is no home,
No bed, no food, just that corner.

The child in that corner
Her eyes are empty,
Her heart full of holes.
Her body lost all its grace,
Now it’s like an empty shell,
With a rotting soul inside.

The child in that corner
Her life has gone to dust.
Where there once was light,
There now is dark.
The child in that corner,
That child is no more.
