Analysis of a hopeful cure



silence echoing,
screams unheard,
silent voices in despair,
tears falling bedside...

you wouldnt know,
youve never been there,
raped in the night,
damaged by one's selfishness...

destroyed is a young soul,
a heart torn apart,
seeking a new start,
wanting to be whole...

the past holding the future,
a hand in the present,
with what love has sent...

confusion making the day,
trying to live the right way,
what could i say,
as i watch her pray...

sharing her past,
to this day still last,
i can only hold her,
hoping for a miracle cure...
