Step in the Sunlight

Lullaby

::::::::

I'm not a child anymore

No lullabies

Sweet songs

Your secrets trap me

Into a nightmare of sorts

So now I sit

Stare blankly at dark

Hating you hating me

Hating the person

I'll soon be

Then I look with fear in my heart

On the secret that started the spark

Fire that burned

Turned light to dark

Died for a cause

My parents to blame

I'm not a child anymore

No lullabies

Sweet songs

And now that I die

The secrets will go on and on …

A/N unlike my other poems in Remembrance Forever this is based on my own fic entitled Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
