Your Poetry Dot Com - The Tone In Her Voice

The tone in her voice,
told me I 'd gone to far,
the tear down her check,
another scar,
inflicted,
upon an already bruised,
loving heart

The look in her eyes,
cause me to shudder,
the clench of her jaw,
Stimulates a twitch of her lip,
to quell and dissipate,
words she'd love to spew,
but won't,
scream into deep recesses,
of her brain,
the stoop of her shoulder,
hands balled into fists,
drilling into her waist,
with legs spread taunt,
all positive signs,
to find an escape route

As I turn and crawl away,
I hear her say,
If you weren't a baby,
there would d be,
the devil to pay,
There wasn't anything ,
I could say,
at nine months ,
language was scheduled for,
another day,
so I just went,
about my way,
next time I see mom,
she'll give me a hug,
everything again okay

Until the next time
