The Words If A Child Could Speak Them

By KozMic BluEs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

There in the dark, my heart stopped. For fear it would hear my heart beating, For fear it would find me, and then... I closed my eyes and I held in my breath, Slowly, silently, I pulled my feet under the covers, And I lay there, motionless, terrified. Again I heard it, Closer this time... My eyelids squeezed closed so tight, I could almost feel the pupils bleed. How do you turn off your ears, When you don't want to hear the sound. How do you do it? The sound of death's grizzly approach. How do I turn off my ears? So that I might never hear that sound again. Never again.... Written April 13th, 2002 © on Apr 12 2002 06:35 PM PST   0 • 10
