I can’t hear them now
the lights have dimmed and the blankets heavy
I’ll wait until I hear the car door slam..
then watch the shadows as they move past my door-muffled
Leather soles that deep the stairs-they always scared me..
Nightmares that never left me-even in the brightness of day
But the darkness in which I hid-my cloak, my saviour
Held me safe in my dreams
and the loudness of dreams
drowned out the hideous screams
And I can’t hear them now....and anyway
-They never said their prayers
And they never said goodbye.
Can you say the same?
