Thursday's Child Ken Harbec
The decay of lost love emerged
from the age stained page.
I stood breathless feeling the pangs of puberty
beating through my veins.
My fears and dreams flashed about my brain.
Choices made,
I drank in the sentiment.
He could always cleanse my palate.
My soul was once his
today belonging just to me.
I am a lost child not knowing which door
I should open.
Questioning the ones that are now closed.
I sit on the edge
wanting to stand
for what I believe.
I am a child
listening to the scoldings
of a forbidden fruit
not good for me
no future
no trust
I fold the memory following the creases
that previously embedded my life.
Running my hand over the words
trying to draw the emotion
out from the ink that stains my soul.
My heart knows it was right.
Now I must place this away from the light.
I am a child afraid of the dark,
afraid of what is within.
There is no love that can fill
the fathomless heart
belonging to no one
but me.

"I find myself drawn to this site to see if perhaps, by chance - it has become ritual. 4:10 daily. I wish you happiness, from the depths of my being. You are special, so very special. " -- PGV.
"I liked this...especially "I am a child afraid of the dark, afraid of what is within.There is no love that can fill the fathomless heart belonging to no one but me." What meaning do those words hold for you? " -- mattie.
"My, my, my. I haven't read a prose so constructive in a very long time. Am I correct in assuming that you are alone? I felt it was a choice, but a regretful one. I have read your other works, and this is as mysterious as HIS PAIN. Emotional, yet cautious. Good job. I would like to see more." -- Kathy B..
"Good woek, the part of "sitting on the edge wanting to stand for whatb I belive" is such a wonderful stance. What is holding you back? STAND UP" -- alexx.
"Mattie, I felt fear over feelings that maybe developing, and knowing that there is no return. The darkness is the vunerable child coming out, the wall that must be put up. Thank You Kathy, there is no regret, just remorse. Thanks alexx, it just can't be done." -- Prudy.
