While i'm at it

You took me by force
And from me -
no screams, no barrage, just a whimper

You took my by wiles.
A silent mourning arose in me
stretching into an eternal echoing in my heart.

In that moment
you took my mind
My childhood
My pride
My future
leaving yawning pain

I wished for a miracle.

"God! This one time,
undo time!
Rewind & help me.  Help me!"

There was no miracle.

You'd silenced even God.

A hush, thrumming, growing,
beating -
black wings of despair over
black waves of undirected rage.

Rage against the night!
Rage against the girl who
went gentle into her
undoing.

Cry for her
Cry with her
Sh - listen to that whimper
the silence
of her stolen life
