That little girl there
who stares at me
while I have a picnic
by the big oak tree.
That little girl there
hungry and alone
not a single place
here to call home.
I offer her snacks
and chocolate too
but she doesn't
accept the food.
She always comes
every single week
to that spot below
the giant oak tree.
She never talks
never a single word
just stands there
as watchful as a bird.
Then one day a man
came and took her away
and yelled at her fearfully
calling her name: "JADE"
She returned the next day
with such a grim face
bruises and bumps
on that little girl Jade.
I offered her chocolate
and many toys too
but there honestly isn't
anything that I can do.
Then she stopped coming
never again any day
so I am left to wonder
what ever happened to Jade?

I love this. Just like Nargles said, it sent shivers through me. The melancholy ring to this helped make it such a strong piece. Honestly, I think I want to cry now..
(I put this as a reply to Nargles on accident. Ooopsies!!)
That is so good, it sent a shiver down my spine. I really enjoyed it. You might want to think of adding commas in just to help the flow but apart form that it is really good.
