About This Poem
Hourglass, spindle and lifeless Doll Free Verse Version
String wrapped around a spindle
Unwinding as an hourglass marks time
Sand trickles to the chamber below
Marking the moments of a life not truly lived
The sound of silence begins to drive him mad
Traveling back in time
To the nightmare of a life of dread
Memories that should never be relived
The torture chamber of his mind
Screams in the darkness
Rocking to an internal beat
Feeling a pain to deep to express
Betrayal
Confusion
You could not protect her from him
She seemed so small
Holding that lifeless doll
Rocking there on that floor
That same internal beat
Together you cried
Together you rocked
A clock strikes
Silence is broken
The hourglass sits
A pile of white sand
If only time could truly stop
He winds the string back onto the spindle
Then he rocks
Alone in the dark
Thinking of her lifeless doll
