CracksA Poem by Ethan
Holding you
Whispering "It'll be okay" But not believing it myself You are not alone Don't be afraid I won't go too Pulled from your small arms Holding you Then you lashing out Kicking me aside Shutting yourself off Healing slower Than a car crash victim Wailing that split the night Told; "You don't know!" But little did you know I cried And I cried Like silent raindrops They fell Each hit From your small fists Like a bullet Piercing my heart Moving from place to place Feet barely touch the ground Then finally When you stop Every second You expect to leave Bouncing back and forth House to house Mother to father Father to mother School Weekend Weekend School... Can't stop this train One to another **** Feeling like a tool Do this Do that Lists of expectations Remember them all? Impossible. Yet we have to We don't like that No But we have to go on Doing it anyway Until we leave To be on our own. -For Emily © 2019 EthanAuthor's Note
