Little Girl Alone - Forever

Little Girl Alone - Forever

The memory of fear,
Crouching low to the floor
Hoping you won't see me
Hoping you'll pass on by
Just this once,

The pain of your hand
Fear of human touch
With a face screwed wrong
The Devil in your eyes
Me just left to stare
Caught then and now
Forever to recall
How every caress
Could flow into blood,
I used to pray to the birds
That they would fly me away
But they never came
Just mocked me
From their perch in the sky
Freedom flowing as they fly,

Turned my tears
Into desperate words
That I threw up at Him
Hoping for something
I thought if it could end
If I could stop the tears
Could shut my eyes
And sleep a thousand years
Maybe it would fade
Like some worthless dream
Yet every morning I awoke
To the same old walls
Painting without and within
With the flecks of my pain,
Blood turned into written word
Composing my eulogy
In childish script

Then they took him away
And left me with her,
Days bleed into nights,
Knowing that soon 
She would be dead
And I would be alone,

I threw the first flower onto 
Her blessed coffin,
Said a prayer for her soul
That we would never meet
For my pain was unending
And my sorrow could not weep

The I heard he passed on
Burned to ashes
In the hot, African sun,
Diving to treasures
Deeper than love
Leaving me as I knew I would be
Alone in the house
I had made in my mind
Alone the world
That had no place
For Damaged goods

mmmm. an excellent race to sanity. its like the character wanted freedom from this pain but when it never came. they had to find the only solid ground for which they could stand on. great rhyming skeme. excellent visuals. this is a very good write

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
