Falling
frightened as you sleep
it comes to you again
a dream that has haunted
you for all these years
your falling
deep ,restless ,sensation
too young to understand
the misery of one man
who loved to hate you ?
his anger and hate were
all too much for you
spilled milk at the alter
of silence , drove you in
a cell with nothing to eat
hungry, thirsty ,wanting more
where was momma?
why didn’t she help me?
or were her hands tied ?
bruised child deserves more
wanting to stop hurting
falling into nothingness
for the rest of my life
falling
falling
falling
want to wake up and
live, with no dreams
this child’s only toy is his pain
