She Remembers

As a young girl, she remembers the 
anguish
Mother and father, a youth divided
A child, shattered
Pain re-lived, never forgotten
Some say..."she was too young to 
remember, dont worry"
Well, im here now
Seething...."I do remember; ive lived my 
whole life trying to forget"
Eternally diseased, always denied


I sat, that day, on the top of those stairs
Damaged, broken, changed
A little girl, ripped from her mothers 
embrace
Infinite loss
Devine...

Welcome, Gerri! Although your first poem here contains much sadness, it gives an insight into the reality of suffering... Thanks for sharing, David
