Silence Of Abuse

Poem of a child's attempt to tell of abuse.


A weeping willow stands silent- alone against the sky- As do I.
 Nothing spoken, nothing told- Who would listen?- Only I.

The woodsman's axe tears against the bark, slowly snuffing the life from a harmless creation- Such as I.

 No tears flow- only God knows the pain-God and I.
