Array ( [sid] => 73239 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Through The Eyes of Love [time] => 2004-11-26 15:58:34 [hometext] => I have quite a few poems about sexual abuse of a child....It is a subject that needs a lot of attention brought to it, by writing these poems I am hoping they help those that have been abused, it helps me tremendously just being able to write about it... [bodytext] => Through The Eyes of Love

I sat in the corner waiting
for the girl that loved me so.
To pick me up and hug me
then off to bed we'd go

If only I could tell
all the things that I have seen,
of all the pain that she's been through
and why she feels unclean.

She's sleeping now and here he comes
sneaking through the door.
I know what's on his mind
I know what she's in for

The girl started crying
wishing she were dead.
When he did those horrible things to her
while kneeling by the bed.

She knew it was impossible
to tell about her shame.
Nobody would believe
that her Daddy was to blame.

I've been with her forever
since the day that she was born.
I've always been her favorite
and I really am quite worn.

Lord, if only I could talk,
to tell the secrets that I share,
if only I were real
but I'm only a Teddy Bear.

Great write, you can tell that a lot of emotion was put into this. It takes guts to write about this stuff, and even more to talk about it, trust me I know. Anyway keep writing.

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. Â©
