Magnolia

She has a face and a name, it is...Magnolia.

"Magnolia"

She's alone

Screaming in a sound proof box

Drowning in despair

Clinging to an old abandoned rock

A broken home and broken dreams

Shatter her frail bare bones

The razors edge bleeds the emotional scars

and the pain from being alone

In her room, she sits by the window

Waiting on Hope & Chance

She used to wait for Faith

But she was taken by an abusive man

She waits in the moment

One second at a time

She closes her eyes and dreams

Of love and happy days gone by

Sweet Magnolia

You're beautiful and strong

So...

Hold On!

Magnolia

For your bloom won't have to wait too long.

The razors edge bleeds the emotional scars...my favourite line of the poem, a poem in which every line carries a wealth of significance and sadness. You tell her story with emotional precision and pathos, and the images stick with the reader long after the poem is read. Great work Christian.

Hi Christian, I Just Finished Reading This Poem. It was Sad, However The Sympathy, Compassion, and Encouragement That Was Provided for "Magnolia" was so Empathetic. This was a very Touching Work! I Truly Found This Poem Very Sympathetic and Heart-Felt. I also Loved how You Concluded This Poem With A Strong ad Sincere Tone Of Hope.
