I Heard It From The Dormouse
Would it mean much if I told you-
How she whispers to herself?
Awkward silence
'Til the morning
Dinner quiet
Words to drown...
How her father hits her daily
Burning
Bleeding
As these riddles act like water
This rejection to her system
How she said it to the dormouse;
Her imaginary friend,
One last pained and proud attempt
As her bother's heart is failing
How he wants to leave here smiling
But it breaks her in the process-
Had she stammered
Softly,
Slowly,
To your cold and blank expression
How her mother left this family
Just to crash and fall apart.
Had she ever
Tried to tell you-
Her eyes glistening, slowly closing
Teardrops falling
Like the rain
Would it mean much if I told you?
You're not easing Anna's pain.

| You painted a picture and I like that. You express pain quite well. This is a very good read. Thank you. I hope you have time to read some of mine. |

Yeah much is done in silence, without letting anybody know about it...it is a bit of indigestible when you say in the first and the last stanza that -Would it mean much if I told you?
Youâ??re not easing Annaâ??s pain.
The pain abates when shared, if not you go insane inwardly. |

| as a child that had many "imaginary" friends, i have a deep understanding of what security they can offer a frightened young one. this piece brings back very cold memories. well written and thank you for sharing this. |
