BansheeA Poem by StormeLight
Dear Banshee,
Why won't you cry? I hear you weep and you wail But only, only from the inside You survived horror and crime But you won't let yourself cry A wake of dark destruction is your gift To anyone noticing that anything is amiss Dearest Banshee, all I wanted was your love From the moment you cradled me Held me in your arms as your baby Dear Banshee, I see your pain There is only so far you can run Run, run, run away Please Dearest Banshee, Let the rain pour down someday Let it release you from your prison, your cage You're desperate for healing, But close the door on your pain Let the rain pour down Stop asking it to come another day I don't want to leave but I see no other way So I grieve the loss of you Banshee The person you could have been I close the door on this suffering So I can live to fight again We are in this losing battle I let you blame me for your mistakes I let you hurt me because I couldn't stand on my own I took the fall for all of you I thought it was what I was supposed to do Dear Banshee, I'm sorry I'm sorry you became this dark force I'm sorry you won't learn to love I'm sorry the important ones in your life neglected you and hurt you, just like me But Banshee, oh Banshee, It was your responsibility To break the patterns of the past Banshee, oh Banshee, You broke your daughter and taught her Not to be angry Banshee, oh Banshee I love you, but leave me be © 2021 StormeLightReviews
