In Every Outcry

In every way I carry myself
In every word I say to thee
In every glimpse of light I catch
I am one step closer to being free

In every second I am away
In every hour thou art gone
In every bone of my body
I know I've been here too long

In every ice cold stare thou hast given
In every ice cold touch
In every tremble of my legs
I know that it's too much

In every day that passes us by
In every attempt I've made to escape
In every attempt to let go of it all
I shall never forget the ra....


In every poem that I write out
He watches, he touches, he's there
In every aching minute now
I'm living inside a nightmare

Juli-Michelle... I especially like your use of 'thee and thou', almost as if is also a prayer to God...I hope the SOB who did this to you got what was coming to him...Know that I am here for you if you need me and I am SO very glad to have been introduced to your poetry - Tim

I can relate to this completely. There are certain people who are near me whenever I write a poem. Some of them are not such good people...This is an awesome poem, Juli-Michelle, it's very deep! I loved it! I am going to add this to my favorites!...Thank you for the great comments. I appreciate it very much!
