DON'T CRY

Listen To The Earthquake Splinters

In The Dark Outside My Daddy...

 

Listen Now And Understand

Why I Sleep In Heaven...

 

Listen Now And Stop The Blood

That Drips Down Bedroom Walls...

Stains White Sheets

And Hands Bathing Sister Sweetly.

 

Listen To The Tears That Wet The

Floor Outside The Bedroom Door....

 

Listen To The Closet Door Slam

Closed On Child Screams Of Silent Fear

And Helpless Suffering For Her

Who Forgives Us All...

 

SLAM IT! SLAM IT! CLOSED FOREVER!

 

Wake Me Now Or Love Me Never!

 

Whisper Love And Kill Me Gently...

Kiss Me Better...

Kiss Me Quiet...

 

Scream The Pain In Riotous Attraction

To The Boy You Fathered...And Never Bothered

To Love Again With Sweet Inaction.

 

Then Dream Insane Forever After...

Scream That Kiss In Frightened Feeling...

Drown That Scream In Christmas Laughter.
