Constance La France Poet Dizain

Dizain Contest

My Forever Stain


I met death very early in my life,
he took my big sister one snowy day;
my mothers scream still echoes like a knife,
broken within-  not a word I would say,
and dealt with death by penning my dismay.
Years and years-  pages and pages I write,
oh, yes writing into the dark of night;
but I can never ever purge the pain.
All my beloved have left scars out of sight,
and sorrow will be my forever stain.
