Hearts beating
She knows the meaning..
Sick
Fear
Excitement..
Kids screaming
Staff running..
Tackle child
...Like football
Watch
Her
...Fall
Hands over mouth..
Stifle her screams..
Not allowed to feel
In this institution..
She is an
insignificant girl..
Just an intrusion..
Must control her body
Mind
...And soul..
Don’t feel
Don’t think..
DON’T
Say a word..
You are here
To be
...Warehoused..
NOT heard.
CIU is where she goes..
Stripped of her cloths..
Naked body
Naked heart
Naked soul
Thrown on the floor..
Rug burns on her
face..
She doesn’t care..
She is use to this
place..
She stares at the
blood red floor.
She is not part of this
world anymore.
She is a
...Disposable girl
Behind locked doors.
She falls
...slowly
Into her
...mind..
She whispers
I loved you..
For the very last time..
No one is there to hear
what was
said..
No one is to
witness
Her hearts final
...death.

A very deep and powerful poem my dear Erica. You can really rock with the punches life throws at you. Your poetry is very outstanding. Your friend. Bill
For a moment I thought that I was warehoused as the train of imagination made the last stop at "desperation and indifference station".
"Hearts Final Death" is a very vibrant picture. It is painted with the ink of reality, and written with emotions of an artist that poetizes with words of knowledge that teach and inspire.
"Hearts Final Death" took me for a long trip on the chariot of imagination.
Thanks for sharing "Hearts Final Death".
