April Payne Poem
These walls are closing in
the yelling is getting worse
always running through my head
are these thoughts of divorce
I don't know how long I can take it
I don't know how long I can last
every time we argue
you want to talk about the past
I am trying to stay calm
I am trying to give you a break
but if this fighting continues
I'll leave for both our sake
I am desperately confused
I am frightened and alone
even when we're together
this house just isn't our home
One minute you're happy
the next madder then hell
I'm afraid to move or breath
Your reaction I just can't tell

April Payne Poem
Did he love me
Did he know
How much loosing him
has made me grow
Did I hurt him
Was he mad
I am hoping in the end
the good out weighed the bad
Will he forgive me
Will it ever be the same
As I kneel down and pray
I silently whisper his name
Is he in heaven
Will I see him again
If by chance I do
will he let me explain
Does he remember
all the horrible things I did
the last time he saw me
I was still a kid
Does he know he saved me
I have changed my life around
Even though I lost him
it's myself that I have found

April Payne Poem
A life so bright
a soul so free
I wonder why
God took him from me
He made me laugh
and sometimes cry
Now he's my angel
up in the sky
An act so tragic
no one was prepared
Always thankful
for the time we shared

April Payne Poem
He lost all control
on the ice as he hit
glass laid broken
on the cement
the clouds turned gray
time stood still
his lifeless body
unable to feel
as I heard the news
that he had died
unable to move
I sat there and cried
God needed an angel
no one better then he
to open my eyes
and make me see
this life is so precious
don't take it for granted
never knowing what cards
from God's deck we are handed

April Payne Poem
Eyes opened wide
do you see my pain
the tears fell down
I wiped them away
Tore down inside
I have a broken soul
years of abuse
finally taking its toll
No matter how hard
I tried to deny
every time that you touched me
I wanted to die
I kept this secret
afraid to tell
many years later
I'm locked in this HELL

April Payne Poem
She sat in silence
thoughts stuck in her head
While her eyes told the story
of the life that she led
The hurt she felt was like no other
Lost inside wanting this love from her father
The effort she made to be a part of his life
Was tossed to the side on account of his wife
The things she recalls but wants to forget
Like the night of his beating
when she heard the bat hit
The yelling and hitting the hate and the fear
Night turns to day month into year
Two children suffering no one said a word
The screams inside too faint to be heard
He stood by his children
and promised never again
but that was the night
their life of hell began
