with in your words your hidden screams all crying outward
the shattered dreams and empty promise's a distant presence
of bitten tongues and counts of ten the taken breaths
children rushed out battered and bruised and hidden scars
angry souls loved amidst blamed self's I should have lies
your all alike till eyes align as pheromones release
once again lies your stanzas repeat more tears on a pillow
betwixt all the games on Facebook, catching bits and pieces of lives in moments shared in post so often skimmed over, one cannot but hear the tears on a pillow, it cross's borders and cultures
