When a boy cries

Catherine Houston





Let it rain

Once again

Let it rain

I hear a voice

Coaching me

Leading me

I feel the warmth of his hands

Smiles appear Every time

He crosses my mind

Hold on daughter

Is what he tells me

7 days have passed

Since my head was up

Caught in the circle of depression

Locked in a world of my own

But today he told me

Daughter

Let it rain

Pour your heart out

I am here to listen.

I clear my mind

Were do i go?

When i feel so lost

Were do i run?

When i can not find any exit

When my skin feels like it is on fire

What do I do?

Some days i feel like I am crawling

Just looking for water

So dehydrated

Who am I ask.

Then my heart shatters

My son feels let down

His tears pierce me

The alarm goes off

and

The sprinkler turns on.

I feel as though 

I can not write any further

I want to numb

But i refuse.
