Tiny feet in my mind

To see your life through the bottom of a bottle has some dire consequences.

 

Rain drops on a thatch

Here I lay in the dead of night

Fighting the rage, driving it from my sight

Shall I win or am I distended to lose.

 

Tiny feet run through my mind

Please run from me to be kind

May I see you one more time even from behind.

 

Little voice whispers to my soul

 “Daddy I love, don’t let the drink take is toll”

The road is long and wet, please watch for the poll

 

The lights are bright and the music is loud

As I look down on your face, you make me so proud.

How could it be that I missed the trucks sound

 

The road is long and wet,

Why do you warn me now when it is all to late

How can I see you again, do I have to join the dead?

 

I love you, my life, my wife

But the look on your face cuts like a knife.

How can you forgive me for taking our Child's life?

[Dragon Witch]

This is so full of emotion and strife...
I don't know what I would do if we had to lose one of our babies.
Very well written, and if it saves even just one life....

[Frances O'Neill]

I like the poem's self-styled-ness. There is a lot of emotion displayed and I like that. So sad...but

nicely written!
