Innocence Felled

Encased and entombed within this lover's womb

Locked down and with held once my innocence was felled

Contained,
Broken
Alone,
Unwell

Cloaked in darkness
dressed in hell.

Swallowed by the sinner's hand.

Forever to wear the unwelcomed lover's dark brand.

These scars,
her memories

displayed for all to see.

That lost child's wish -
only to be set free

Healed and whole

Happy and bold

Laughter filled and sunshine willed

Not knowing what she really knows -
huddled down
curled up
shaken and scared

She is burried beneath the weight that she bears

Forever crying and asking why

Wondering when,
just when,
her pain will die.

a turbulent, terrorized soul
it cries out silently, never to be
heard

Very powerful. A wonderful poem, full of imagery and emotion. Absolutely wonderful. I especially liked the internal rhymes. 6/5.
