We are abandoned but you wouldn't remember it.
We are lost but you were with us once, a long time ago.
We are still looking for the way out where you stand on the other side.
It was such a nice day when we got lost, or rather when you tricked us.
You told us our mothers had mistaken us for runaways and gone looking for us.
We went deep into the woods, calling for them - all twelve of us.
Somehow it turned dark too quickly for us to find the way back.
Somehow you switched from leading us in, to sneaking away home.
Somehow we're all still alive.
We remember our deaths, none of our generation survived but you.
All of us woke up after a while and counted, all there but you.
Now we don't eat or sleep we're so much faster, so much closer to finding you.
