Promises laying
broken,
Scattered across
the memories
of what used to be.

Words left
unspoken,
because I fear
what the truth
would do to me.

well, the truth can't really hurt you, but lies sure can, speak up! Then write another poem about it

"When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey."

Since I don't know your truths, I can't solve this. But it is a poem to think about. Joyce

There are two lasting bequests
that we can hope to instill in our children
one is roots ...
the other ... wings.
