Little Boy 12

Unremembered dreams
in silence
a scream
itchy throat all I know
recollections nil

I know what it is
no need to remember
it unmade me
gave me pain

I have embraced it
smothered it
buried it
deep, like the pain

No sweet, sweet, suffering
no tears are shed
heart a husk
only a void

Avoid remembering
avoid love
abhor my own lust
HATE HER

The screams are back
throat red raw
tattered mind
1 becomes 12

Little sleep
little but pain
for this little boy
and his shattered remains
