Silenced Cries

Silenced Cries

"Please Mommy, please Daddy" don't shake
me no more,
"My head hurts terribly and my neck is so sore",
"I'm losing my sight, and can no longer think",
"What did I do to break your love link"?

"Yes I was crying and couldn't seem to stop",
"I just needed changing with the diapers
you bought",
"That's all that I wanted to help me stop crying",
"God....Daddy..I feel like I'm dying"!

"My wee body is weak now, I can't breath
no more",
"Why did you do this...my brain you have torn",
"If only you would have talked to someone",
"Or taken a break till my crying was done".

"A soft warm blanket in a dark quiet room",
"Would have stopped me from crying...it would have been soon",
"You could have cradled me to make me feel loved",
"But now I hear God...calling my name from above".

"I can't think of words to tell you goodbye",
"Except..you will no longer hear my cries",
"You have taken my life before it begun",
"You will no longer hold me...there will be
no more sun".
