A Victim

A VICTIM. 

A VICTIM 

A VICTIM YOU SEE BEFORE YOU 

OF LIFE OF LOVE OF TRUST 

NO CRIME BUT TRUTH        NOT JUST 

DON'T LEAVE YOURSELF BEHIND YOU 

STOP CRYING      BUT DREAM YOU MUST 

INSIDE YOUR HEART IS OPEN 

BUT BRUISED AND TIED AND CRUSHED 

LET SOMEONE STAND BESIDE YOU 

WHO FEELS WARMTH AND LOVE      NOT LUST 

THESE WORDS I MEAN TO TOUCH YOU 

NOT POINT AND FROWN OR JUDGE 

THIS POEM I WRITE WHILST CRYING 

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WORDS ARE      NOT ENOUGH.
