Stolen Cries

by

Laura Beth Leither

I feel them rise up fast and hard
Boiling the blood, my bones now charred
Crazy as a circus clown
Losing the sanity only just found
Too soon the crickets begin to speak
Night burning the light we all will seek
Faster and faster the dew sets in
As goosebumps appear across my skin
Running now, away from this time
The hands ticking until the clock will chime
Screaming their names, a fight within
Awaiting an answer to give to them
What? I couldn't hear your words
Don't leave me now alone and unsure
The clouds are still amongst the stars
I stand on a highway and listen for cars
Take me with you small black crow
To wherever it is you'll fly and go
I mustn't stay for I am scared
They've left me alone, if only they'd cared
Shallow water begins to fall
I get up and try, going back to it all
Surely the panthers have left the cave
My bleeding heart needs to be saved

Why don't you look at Those who are cruel to animals
