LOST IN TIME

LOST IN TIME

A Poem by SPINNING ON that dizzy edge


Waited to be bigger

when I could so decide

Memories sadly trigger

love that would divide

childhood spent in sadness

wilted on the vine

circled blackened madness

answers never mine.

 

Wanted to be better

than any dream inside

Truth that never let her

have a place to hide

Fists used  - no forgiveness

tried beating out the crime

and pain did bear a witness

there was not a time.

 

Wondered why you did it then

asked, not answered still.

Time and time and time again

Answers never will

Undo the pain, give back the life

Lessons lost, held fast remain

frozen images - years of strife

Are etched into my brain.

 

Why would I forgive you?

Stolen innocence sublime

No excuses would ring true

This question lost in time.

You'd not the right to damage

hearts given softly died

 dignity to manage...

 

 

Now kindly step aside.

There is deep emotional scarring between the lines of this powerful poem, Kath. I can feel the pain of an innocent child....I want to hug her and tell her everything will be okay. I want to answer the questions for her and tell her that her parents are disturbed people and that she is okay. It is not her fault. How tragic the emotional scars left by some parents. Still, the last line of this poem is so empowering, "Now kindly step aside." Dignity restored! Very well written and touching. lydia
