Child Doll

My toys that I once played with as a child are gone. 
My youth is decades ago, but I'm still reminded of the time that has gone by.
Life catches up to you and nightmares come to shore.
Past deeds that were done to you will haunt you forevermore. 

The things that comforted you then are now long gone.
And time is an evil silence of a life that once was lived by a girl like you.
A girl that lived your life and now she is gone. 
Turned into a woman how the time has flown.

I will never cease to live youthfully. 
For inside my heart beats a melody.
A melody of a child, laughing, skipping, playing still.
But around my eyes are times line that have flown and now I'm older still yet wondering where has the time gone?
