Bearing Sad Eyes

 

Eyes misted , staring out into the world

sun and moon existed, as did the stars

Soft ivory skin with long golden curls

branded by hate and destined to scars


Little hands trembled her lips a frown

screams of pain shook the walls of life

Within her own sorrow she will drown

his tongue becoming a two edged knife


Watching his hands travel her frame

I remain silent through years of pain

Her tender eyes reflected her shame

and nobody heard the young complain


Trying to escape he busted her lip

and to her knees she fell in a pile

He bent down placed hand on hip

then kissed away her innocent smile


Tonight he stripped her, took her soul

entered purity's cave stealing her worth

I watched in horror, I had no control

she was my princess since birth


I was her comforter when he was done

and she would snuggle close to my side

Nestled in her arms the tears came undone

and years of torment stayed locked inside


We were instant friends and I love her so

yet I am silenced and she'll never know



Sitting in horror, listening to her cries

I'm just a stuffed teddy bearing sad eyes



Author notes

Sonnets,
double Sonnets interlocked

which simply means,
three poems in one

Black could be read by itself as a piece
Maroon could be read by itself as a piece
OR
read all together as One piece..Simple enough

    A cry in my heart for all children like her..Some of us are survivors of abuse or incest, and it is not always the adults that are the abusers. Some are within the realm of relatives..So skillfully penned Tory...So moving a write!

    Wow! I am touched and saddened by this piece. I can only imagine the horrors locked inside the teddy bears eyes. You are an incredibly talented poet and I'm off to read more of your poetry.

    it takes so much courage to write explicit
    details of ones life, in such a horrendous time,
    I don't have the strength in me, but I commend
    you for doing so, as i read each stanza, the words pierced
    my heart and I cried for all the children that didn't
    have a chance to be, and for those of us that are
    survivors and victors of this treatment.

    beautifully expressed Tory,
    I am so proud of you sss

    love and blessings always
    my dear

    How do you do this...you're so talented.

    They say love and pain brings the best up into a poets heart...
    Well yours is big bigger biggest girlie

    Writing down can give some relieve but the pain will never really go away is it?

    Hope you will find peace and love in your life

    Fabulous job for such an intimately painful subject, Why some men do this I shall never understand, however my spare 55 gallon steel drums, and a desolate and abandon deep mine shaft await anyone I catch doing, or contemplating such activities.

    The Apaches had the best idea, strip them naked, tie a rope to their ankles and drag them through Cholla. Me, I'd use a Jeep.

    but hey, as for the form, your mastery of such is exquisite- as always, the skill utilized makes one breath deep with awe. (like your eyes & smile)

    love you Passions,

    Beautifully and oh so skillfully written. Amazing form. The subject tore my soul in two. Made me weep and hurt so deeply. The pic is a perfect accompaniment to the words that bleed onto this page. 

     

    I believe there is no limit to your ability to reach the hearts of your readers. 

     

    My Love...sweet soul I adore you and everything you stand for and against. I am proud to be a part of your life. Rarely do we meet another who understands the depths of our being...you always have understood me and given me so many reasons to have strength and take another step towards a better day.

     

    I love you so much...

      I have been through several situations like this i am afraid
      and only wished i saw it as a teddy.
      actually when i went through this I didnt have a teddy, i had nothing but four walls and loud music. I am honored that you love this poem.
      Maybe you can print it and post

      Much love
      Passions

      And of course i thank you and appreciate your stopping in
