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...
