Day 41: Little Boy, Little Girl

i once knew a little boy
i knew his name
i saw his dreams
and played all the games
that he once played

but now he stands
with his back against the wall
crying out for someone to come
save him
save him
and take him away

i once knew a little girl
i knew her days were long
i knew she was alone in the night
and i saw the light
as it went from her eyes

but now she waits
with a red light glowing by
crying out for someone to come
save her
save her
and take her away
