The Secret Reflections in a mirror Serene stillness in the glass Deep into the eyes I stare Lurking shadows are cast I reached back through the years Silently tears flowing down my cheeks As memories of the past appear They hold dark secrets, so to speak My home was a prison A place GOD forgot Filled with heartache, listen Piercing dark eyes, demons inside The one who protects, is not what it seems No where to run, no where to hide Frozen silence of unheard screams Marks, bruises safely hidden Scars run deep within Do not complain it’s forbidden Haunting vision of mortal sin Your voice echoes in my mind Coiling into the depths of sadness Promises, cruel words closely intertwined Trapped in this cycle of bitterness Precious years have slipped by Beneath the ground you dwell My heart swells wondering why Eerily quiet as I finally tell My journey has now come to an end Rest in peace |

Welcome to Pip! I think that your first offering is very intense and touching. Your last words convey forgiveness and that is very liberating and noble. Well written. Margherita |

I look back on my childhood with mostly fond memories ... any bad ones were my own fault, but all in all, a loving home life. ~ there are so many, like yourself, that never will have the wonderful childhood memories that they should have had ... ~ very sad piece ... thanks for sharing and welcome to Passions |

Welcome - what a thought provoking piece of poetry. It's hard to let the past go, but, hopefully, in time it will blur. I look back on parts of my life with sadness, but that person is not who I am today. Thank you for sharing your work. Alison |

Welcome to PIP. Well written. I think all we can do about the past is forgive. We can't ever change it- only move forward.  -Trina. |

Very provocative writing. Makes me very sad. I believe it is conveyed well, and worded well, enabling the reader to empathize. ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· "Look! Crumbs on his jacketses... Heeee took it!" |
