Broken glass
I had no warm and tender arms to ever comfort me only broken glass no real father no real mother 9nly a father who touched me in unmarked areas then payed for his sin with a small piece of change always running to arms to wound me on broken glass my mother would not let me call her that name no she beat me to blood and bone only broken glass so I would run to find that in arms that beat me to bone and blood only broken glass then one day mom if I dare say it took me to meet her lover friend he was at least 25 I was at least 13 oh the softness of his hands the kiss he give me soon turned to blood and bone left me to bleed and die some how I crawl to what seemed a lifetime for help only broken glass run that is all I new a child was bron then slipped away to this day I do not no where I hope her life was not broken glass but joy hope and love now at 70 still holding on to second hour I run broken glass no matter what always broken glass time never flys only stands there in brain stuck a 1000 times over and over again blood and bone peace seems far maybe God well find me heal my bones one day so come see my broken glass one day laugh with me I dare not show teats for that is weakness
