About the Poem
I wrote this poem about my life. Most would think being alone is wrong. But to me it would of been a miracle from God. I was hurt by my step-father like no girl should. He made me realize that life is valuable. He took away from me 10 years of my childhood.
I am now 16 years old and I still have those days I want to run away. I finally told someone two years ago, and I was set free from his wickedness to me. I want everyone to know out there. If you believe it wouldn't happen, think again. It happens everyday to innocent people. When you read this it is my struggle that I deal with, I don't want you to feel sad. I just want you to know it does happen everyday all over the world.
To Cry Alone.... |
| by Hope |
| To cry alone.... In my heart there is this despair. That no matter where I turn you'll always be there. When I cry alone at night, your face always says goodnight. I scream in vain and shiver in fear. Why can't you leave me to cry alone? I no longer love you or care. Why do you jog my memory, when you know I hate you beyond despair? The clouds now gray are fogging me in. I no longer see the light. I pull my knees up to my chest. And pray with all my might. That one day I will no longer be scared of you in the night. A tear drop trickles down my cheek. I shudder with a heart of vain. I know not why you did this to me. But even though, you seem to cry through me. When I cry alone at night, I see your face smiling. And yet to cry alone at night my memory always seems to jog me. |

I really like this poem, i written more then 50 of them, some of my life and some of love. I got goose bumps from this one, it made me feel of my ex and what she goes through with her dad. And what she thinks of him.
Colette
