Emily Troudt Poem
Captivating and full of life
You were always there
When I needed a helping hand
Or a warm embrace to share
You were vigilant and strong
My anchor in the storm
Watching over and protecting me
Keeping me from harm
But it wouldn’t be forever
You would soon be gone
No longer rich or resilient
Only somber and withdrawn
Now my guardian angel
You watch over from above
Ensuring that I’m shielded
And still surrounding me with love

Emily Troudt Poem
I hear a car door slam.
As I lie awake in bed.
I know now that you’re hear.
A single tear is shed.
I sense what will occur,
When you stumble through the door.
You’ll take it out on her,
Then leave her shattered on the floor.
She’ll pick herself back up again,
Then come into my room.
And tell me that she can sustain.
All your binding doom.
But I know it’s not the truth,
She’s slowly dieing inside.
You’re taking away her youth,
While she swallows all her pride.
I know she thinks of running away,
But she realizes it’s no use.
There will be a price to pay,
And it will end in more abuse.
