In the shadows
dark memories dwell
faint whispers and crys stay
silent screams and funny deeds
hidden safely where no one can see
Far back in the shadows
small children
play a secret game
no one to see the bruises
questions that go unanswered
Safely in the shadows
a young child
takes her life
so slowly that no one sees
so carefully that no on knows
In the shadows
dark memories dwell
faint whispers and crys stay
silent screams and funny deeds
hidden safely where no one can see
