Days Gone
I heard a shadow scream
With bodily form within
My heart wrenched with need to help
The cry held the tears of the world
Weighing heavily on my mind
Stepping into the darkness
I heard the whispered words
She took my life, I was flushed away
I cannot move back nor forward
My spirit lies in limbo.
I knew this spirit, my mind
rushed back to my 11-year-old self
On instructions, it was my hand
that flushed this small body away
my life went on. It’s now in later years
I hear the echo of those days…
