The Uncried Tears Poem by Sharron Stephenson

The Uncried Tears

Rating: 5.0


the laughter singing and joy,
movement of the footsteps,
up the stairs and then the shouts,
shut up and go to sleep,

the night is silent,
the door open slowly,
the hand over the mouth,
shh shh,
the legs forced apart,
as the pain begins,

the blood flows,
the tears won't come,
the door he closes with the,
happiness in his heart,

as the water runs,
a warm bubble bath,
my childhood gone,

but as i grew,
the pain becomes numb,
the older i got,
the memories grows stronger,

as i fight and fight,
i wonder if it will,
ever stop and go away

A sad poem of violated childhood, the past we cannot change, only the future offers choices, and possible restoration of souls.
