empty words on pretty paper
that disappear just like a vapor

a cry for help disguised as poetry
she continues on writing hopefully

what's the point of trying to rhyme?
this whole **** poem is a crime

maybe she should stick to art
perhaps that will mend her bleeding heart

to carry on she'd be a fool
her own harsh words can be so cruel

she is, herself, her own worst enemy
she'll take the blame and every penalty

for after all who is to blame?
she regards herself with utter shame

a broken girl with shattered hope
just searching for a way to cope

so write she must, and write she will
till that blessed day her heart lies, still

tiny fingers and tiny toes
silent baby, why must you go?

you left so soon, you left me broken
all your words still yet unspoken

all your life was yet to live
i know you had so much to give

but you will never shed a tear
my weeping will not reach your ear

for in His arms you'll gently lay
and for you I will always pray

no pain or sorrow will you feel
that thought alone will help me heal

and when I meet you there one day
with you i'll forever stay

sad songs
depressing movies
bouts of melancholy

my heart longs
for something truly
but my head says it's all folly

maybe i just
don't want to feel
my own sadness

to feel the ******
of a pain so real
it leaves me breathless

his strong hands
and lustful eyes
they scour her body
despite her cries

they leave a shell
a broken girl
they've taken much
her toes uncurl

such mixed emotions
her heart is shattered
her body broken
her brain is scattered

his violent actions
they haunt her still
she wonders if
they always will

a girl so young
a girl untainted
now with shame
she's well acquainted

now with fear
she takes a vow
no one comes in
no one's allowed

no one will hurt her
not like he did
no one will enter
her heart unbid

the ones who try
they meet a wall
a sturdy one
it's strong and tall

but how she longs
for it to break
a few kind words
will make it shake

perhaps there's hope
perhaps she'll heal
for in her heart
she longs to feel

to feel God's love
and mercy too
to have her heart
be made anew

and in the newness
she will rest
for God's word says
she will be blessed

an outpour of the soul.
a flood of emotion that cannot
even be expressed.
what does one’s heart truly feel when weighed down by sadness?

is it desperation?
is it hopelessness?
is it simply a lack of joy?
Or is it so much more...

an aching of the soul that this world can’t even comprehend
an ache so deep you can’t even believe you’re capable of it
