Torn To Pieces

Fear haunts silent nights screams of tears or joy once cherished stolen away Memories washed up on a sinking ship watch as it slips further away Torn to pieces once tightly bound wholesome and strong ripped away Pushed out unearthed and unable to see pretty flowers bloom Fear of being forgotten tears tear and torture fruits turned rotten gone awry Words whispered soothing and true warming hearts daddy I love you

This is beautiful, but until the last verse the poem could take a whole new meaning, love the twists in any poem! :) Cheers
