Sorrow Collected
Sorrow collected
A lifetime ago;
I was a little girl-
Skipping, skipping
Playing with rope
She followed me home
This shadow of mine
Her soul is still-
Skipping, skipping
Echoing time
Suffering shame;
Of abuses unknown
Her heart couldn’t stop-
Skipping, skipping
Wanting to go
Shelved in the closet
A Sunday school dress
And she was there-
Swinging, swinging
Finally at rest
A lifetime ago;
I was a little girl-
Skipping, skipping
Playing with rope
She followed me home
This shadow of mine
Her soul is still-
Skipping, skipping
Echoing time
Suffering shame;
Of abuses unknown
Her heart couldn’t stop-
Skipping, skipping
Wanting to go
Shelved in the closet
A Sunday school dress
And she was there-
Swinging, swinging
Finally at rest

The loss of innocence so cruelly taken!!
A harsh, heart-breaking protrayal of what can often result from the lasting effects of child abuse.
Well penned! Thanks for posting!
