neglect's child

 
stir emotion
let it have its say
little broken bone feelings
with hairline fractures of sorrow
they mend but never heal
 
scarred anguish
speaks from the depths
there is a little girl frozen
inside the blue room of regret
 
she cries for yesterdays  
never forgotten
born as tomorrow's
latest abortion
they died before given a chance  
to exist
 
each named hope
were crushed inside of denial
the breath strangled from them
by this great liar
 
he the grim reaper
for this little one  
sent from the heavens
 
she shoulders the pain of truth
with no help from the woman
named blue
 
your inner child
withers inside of neglect
you fail to feed her
or dress her pain
she shivers in the cold  
dying more and more each day
 
when will you see she is you?
 
her voice speaks of wisdom learned
before you could even talk
garnered from the cosmos
and given as a message to be delivered today
 
I ask have you spoken with her?
