candy jane~

there once was a girl, her name was jane...
she lived above a sweet shop in a town of a town, in a place of a place... it was small and dim with only one window...

but it was home...

she'd gaze out of it from time to time, watchin the children enter the store... the sugary, toothsome scent of strawberry lickerish & rainbow coloured gumdrops oozed in thru the cracks of the wooden floor from the store below... it was warm & cherishing... & reminded her of summers spent with her mother~

but she never went down though...

she'd watch the children enter & leave, carrying out bags of gummybears and candy canes.... and she'd observe, quietly, from the window in her room... they would tease her from below... waving their bags of edible jewels above their heads, taunting her as they popped hand-fulls into their mouths and smiled once their tongues felt the sweetness~

she'd look at them blankly with her absract stare.... expressing neither admiration nor discontent... & once they found no satisfaction in their attempts, they left... and she'd watch them leave~

she imagined in her head the vast selections of candy & sweets the little shop contained... the infinite colours of jellybeans and sugar tots endowned with the flavours of every fruit & essence in the world.... and she'd smile a wide smile~



but she never went down....
