stillborn

she lied

the child did not dream


the violent winter
had left a
weird wound


a salvation shaped
black wallflower
pinned to her scream


she lied

the child did not sleep


her dress
in the color of a
depressed coronation

revealed
a shadow suicide

she knows that I know but
still she lies


the child
a wanted warrior
now boarding
a numb paradise

you express pain and despair in a way that is almost phisically painful for the reader ...there is no sense or meaning in grief -just pain Your poem is excellent !

That is cool. Very disconnected yet touching in a dark twisted way. Very nice.
