I wrote this almost a year ago and loved it at the time...Now as I have grown as writer I have found myself uncertain as to whether this is good or not...Please enjoy regardless... His whisper Stale alcoholic, anger Sinking into your head; Now echoes throughout A hallowed heart Hush, hush Sweet child He sees your fears Monster leaping from the glowing crack Of a battered wooden door Clinging, clutching, embracing Your tiny body Crying never helped Obeying, was your only escape Rough scarred hands, blistered Scratching your skin Heart, exploding reaching to climb out You quietly pray, begging To an unkind God Now twenty-four and still A battered child; Bruises of yesterday Seeping through, onto your skin Monsters still capture you Stealing you sleep With horror movie images Sadness, evokes distrusting relationships Corrupting your mind Ripping away your youth and Punishing your future With each soft touch From a loving hand Your body cringes, with guilt Lying now, cradled beneath Cold, black fabric Alone, forever chained to the past You rock into a psychotic slumber As a faint voice whispers in the distance Hush, hush Sweet child |

Wow, so sad, and unfortunate. But I must say, enjoyed. Kristabell |
