missing child

city lights, shadows creeping, Heart heavy, parents, crying, tears they weeping, Missing child, poster plastered on the block, Echoes in the alley, time ticking, don’t stop. Hope’s a flicker, in the dark it’s a spark, Searching through the night, we’re lost in the park, Every face a ghost, every whisper a name, Chasing after dreams, but it’s never the same. Eyes on the horizon, searching for a sign, In a world so cold, love’s the only line,
