My Eldest Child Is Dead Poem by Sheena Blackhall

My Eldest Child Is Dead



My eldest child is dead
He left without goodbye
I'm not sound in the head
My eldest child is dead

My eldest child is dead
I bite my flesh and cry
The blackness seems to spread
My eldest child is dead

My eldest child is dead
Now all I do is sigh
For happiness has fled
My eldest child is dead
