Silence Poem by amy curran

Little Child Crying
In The Corner So Dark
There's No Need To Worry,
Mummy'll Take You To The Park.

She'll Give You A Hug
And Wipe Your Eyes Dry
'He Won't Do It Again! ' She Says
But You Know That's A Lie.

More Than Often
You Witness The Violence
Daddy Stikes Her Hard;
What Follows Is Silence.

He Storms Right Past You
With A Cruel Glint In His Eye
Trembling Violently,
You Wished He Would Die.

Smiling At Tou Weakly
Mummy Wipes Away The Blood
Then Collapses On The Floor
With An Unexpexted Thud.

Time Seems To Stop,
Life Seems To End:
That's When You Know,
You've Lost Your Best Friend!
