Anna C Croft Poems

It was just a dinner date
That ended in a horrible rape.

No-one heard her kick or scream
...

Hasn't it come round quickly,
Our celebrated once a year lunch.
We sit together in a crowded canteen
And ignore everyone - the whole damn bunch.
...

I perceive you in the silence in forests
I hear your footfall on threadworn stairs.

I see your reflection in the store windows
...

Why do you assume the latency of my anger
Is inflamed by your interaction or lack of it?

Why do you not see that my bleeding heart
...

The jigsaw of my life lay before me
Piece upon sorry piece
Interlocking into a pattern of pain
Heralding years of waste.
...

The night lay before me like a vast ocean
Black, unfathomable and empty.
No moon to cast a shadow
Or to guide me through the inkiness to light.
...

You were my firework
A beautiful, magical display
Of bright colours, flying high
Into the inky blackness of night
...

She thinks about death a lot
But knows it's unhealthy, but so what.

She thinks drowning would be for the best
...

Anna C Croft Biography

Just a girl - trying her best to get by in life. I write to express what is bothering me about my world and the world at large. Sometimes it's dark and sometimes it's daft and sometimes it's just ok stuff. I love my family, my husband and kids and my life is ok most of the time - and I'll be here when it isn't!)

The Best Poem Of Anna C Croft

The Life Of A Wife

It was just a dinner date
That ended in a horrible rape.

No-one heard her kick or scream
No-one knows how she feels.

No-one cares that's the thing
When rape is within a wedding ring.

It's one of those things, a part of life
When you're someone's woman, someone's wife.

She'll make the meals, iron the shirts
Even though she feels like a piece of dirt.

Hide the tears from all the kids
Do as he wishes, do as he bids.

All the time she seethes inside
All the time she tells her friends lies.

She's at the point when she feels it okay.
A spell in jail, to take that man out of play.
