[hometext] => This is my view of whats happened to me over the years..
[bodytext] => What happened to the little girl in the picture What happened to those happy moments, happy lives What happened to all those good times What made her into someone who cut with knives The smiles, the cries of joy It was all a ploy A pretence from the gods Lies from above Pretending that life Was nothing other than love Where did that pretty face go Why did I let it see the truth, reality Why couldn’t I have kept it behind those curls Why did I show it this world’s brutality? Ahh, the bliss, the innocence The hearts, joined as one Now they see what she saw Now all that love has gone Why did I let her fall so hard Why did I let her tear them apart One too many in the family Hidden secrets of pain in her heart Why did I let her grow up (Can you see the emptiness in their eyes) Why didn’t I make her life stop (Can you hear the despair in their cries) Why didn’t I end it all long ago (Watch their expressions go numb as the tear dries) I reached out, but did nothing, and her eyes grew sad I saw everything she did that she knew was bad I watched as she withdrew from mum and dad I knew she was losing everything she had I knew her I knew her so well Then things changed and it all began to swell And we all saw her face begin to grow old We all saw her getting more weary and cold We all saw the terror inside her unfold The story was telling itself The one that had been left untold I see her now, I see her looking deep into my eyes I see her understand what, where and why I hold her within and begin to cry This happiness, this state of being, this is for what and why As we bid depression goodbye [comments] => 7 [counter] => 379 [topic] => 31 [informant] => afraid_of_fear [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
