Crying

Crashing the beaches
of my eyes,
lives are revealed.

In the small hours of drink,
sickness rained shackled lives
on the bathroom floor.

An abused child
tumbles forth
helpless in a runny sea.

A punished woman
spills out,
lavished with scents of heat.

An eager man
swings new arms.

Fixtures of pain askew,
confined companions swim free.

Hello Thomas Wells, I feel that children should not be abused by their parents or by family members. Instead they should be loved. if the baby is not wanted then give it up to someone that will love that baby. Children need to be loved. I corrected my mistakes, for the 2nd time. Enjoy your day my fiend. Be safe.
