Stained rose cheeks

by Erica Jovie©   Nov 23, 2006


Dark cold rain falls all around her
as wet tears stream from her red swollen eyes
she walks along a silent street
when the only sound to be heard is the "pit-pattering" of the rain on the hard cement

her aburn hair is tangled
her heart is racing
and scaring streaks of wet pain
stain her pink rose cheeks

she carries her shattered fragile heart among her thin slender fingers that make up small shaking hands

she begins to run faster and faster
striving to release the ake that has built up inside her
her numbed petite feet splash in and out of puddles
thrushing murky water against her pale, icy legs

she gains speed as she runs for a feild of grass below a flickering street light

suddenly...
her energy runs out
and her knees give way along with her abilty to continue

and she is thrown to the rain saturated grass

she screams to the heavens
and cries till she can no more

where is her father now

why has he left her

why has she NO ONE to wipe the tears falling from her puffy eyes

those who say they care have lives of their own full of happiness and love with no room for her pain

why does no one hear her
why is her heart ake of little value to the world

if she had but a tear left to shed she would
if she had the streangth to come from this hurt she'd try

this "boy" didn't do this to her
life did
where is this someday to be found
where is this hand to hold

dark cold rain falling all around her
slender hands shaking
and innocent heart is breaking
and no one is near enough...
to hold her yet one last time....

where is her father now???
