forsaken


thoughts are swirling
eddies whirling
muddy waters
flood her head


tossing, turning
body yearning
clutching pillows
in her bed


morning after
childrens' laughter
blood cries echo
pierce the dark


heart is breaking
bosom aching
tears of shame
sweep lash's arc


breath is shallow
skin of tallow
gaze expressionless
hope lost


Jesus weeps as
baby sleeps
returned to heaven
at what cost?

I hope you did not go through this, one of my best friends did and it hurts me to see her hurt like that.

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

It has been 15 years now... but I do remember all the emotion very well to this day. Much of it lingers for years... and far too many effects are forever.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.  


Warm Regards,

~"Lily"~

Very well written!!    And yes I do agree some of the past pain does stay with you forever.    Yet there is always a way around it.  Keep your head held high.
