Lost polka dots
The punk pink turns grey in a blink.
The sunny shine takes off its sheen.
The carefree cries gets mixed with anxious knots.
The giggly dress loses it's polka dots.
Left the lanes of frolic,
Walked the paths to be melancholic.
The unavoided laughters now sealed with solemnity
The high rise tides now ebbed out its floss and the polka dots are forever lost.
