Fading into nothingness

Cursing the fate,
With eyes full of tears
Abandoned by the world
A lonely child weeps, withering.

Not knowing why
Yet wanting to know.
Not living,
Yet wanting to live.

Crying, almost transparent,
With fists pounding on the cold marble
Of the grave
The child shivers understanding.
And cries.

It cries a cry of the bewildered,
Yet it cries Mommy.
Languished,
Slowly fading into nothingness.
