A childs cry

by Blue Hendrix

The hurt in your eyes haunts my soul.

He's lost control.

A plea for change.

Life rearranged.

He doesn't care how loud he shouts.

A child cries out.

Darkness hides tears.

Multiplies fears.

Home shouldn't be a battleground.

Should be safe, sound.

Innocence Lost.

Heartbreaking cost.
