Crecent Arch by Debra Rose

Shadows have overwhelmed the room,
And the night has swallowed the fairy-tale dreams of
A little girl sitting in her bed,
Grown up in a night as the moon makes its cascading
Crescent arch,
Across the sky,
Scattering the tears of a god who weeps,
Because its children are the hatred,
Of their own making.

And the little girl,
Once so hopeful and alive with dreams,
Of a future that seemed brighter than a noonday sun,
Now snuggles closer to the darkness,
As tears make the same cascading
Crescent arch
Across her cheeks,
Scattering like the tears of a god who weeps,
Because she realizes she is the center of hatred,
For what she cannot control.

Snuggling closer to the darkness,
She studies the pills upon her dresser and dreams,
Of slipping them past the lump in her throat,
One by one into the soft, feminine belly,
And slitting her wrists to flow in a cascading,
Crescent arch,
Of blood that falls as if Jesus did weep,
Upon the bed to cleanse the hatred,
That eats up at her soul.

And playing with the razor and the bottle of pills,
The little girl ponders the future of shattered dreams,
Where she will have no love,
Without fighting the world,
Where she will have children,
Without fighting the world,
Because she loves another girl.
And with a final ache, the pills do fall and blood does go in a cascading,
Crescent arch,
Falling like the tears she and the gods did weep,
Another victim of hatred,
Staining blood red the hands of the “pure”

Another innocent victim of broken dreams and hate,
Falling into a forgotten cascading,
Crescent arch,
Down the cheeks of a weeping god,
Into forgotten oblivion….
