Faded Visions Poem by Lesa MRK

Faded visions remain in my mind
I recall moments from a distant time
And I now know I was not alone
For it too was once your home

I cry but no tears fall
Silent footsteps in a darkened hall
Then up many steps to a place of gloom
Candles glowing in an all white room

I shove the memory from this heart
Away from the moment where pain had its start
Then off to another where red was the color
And an innocent child lost her mother

The child cried but not for long
For she learned that life then goes on
And she knew that more pain yet remained
For it was not long before the hurt refrained

She could not stop the ticking of the time
That brought forth a forbidden crime
That left her standing all alone
Darkness shattering blood and bone
