Destructions
Eve
I
heard her fear
I
felt her heart stop
In the moment she knew
Secrets
kept for so long
Were
now screaming from
Insanity’s
edge
Denial
would only complicate
Lives
of those she loved
More
than terror
Could
dictate
More
than quiet
Could
silence
Rocking
endlessly
Hoping
that she would awaken
To
a way to keep the past buried
Inside
a little girl who couldn’t forget
Who
couldn’t be silent anymore
They
tell you that no one will believe
Authorities
insist that we don’t
That
we can’t exist
Ghosts
in living skin
Hiding
from everyone
Knowing
that the truth is not welcome
Anywhere
where normal resides
Yet
there is a freeing of the soul
When
one’s admissions release
Another
terrified ghost
One
hand taken from the fire
One
heart mending another
Reassuring
words that encourage
Stepping
into the darkness of reprieve
Embracing
each frightened refugee
