When Children Cry

by Twisted Heart   May 18, 2007


Shards of glass
cut porcelain skin
Dark eyes turned brass
from deep within

Angel wings
with feather tips
Singed with sorrow
by moistened lips

From deep in
a heart has died
A soul was silenced
and set aside

Then gladly
comes the tender rain
Washing away
a child's pain..
