I Shine
I shine With my eyes I shine With my grin I shine With my smile I shine From within I shine As I stand proud I shine As I stand tall I shine And now I know I can shine even brighter Than I have ever Shone before Christopher Wellbelove 4 December 2009
Side by side
We stand together Side by side Driven to show We will not be beaten As one of our own Was brutally stolen Candles burn Speeches spoken Memories awoken As a life was taken As all our nights Needlesly darkened Candles burned As strangers shared Memories of a friend Of a murdered loved one A sisters hurt Felt in every tender [...]
I hear you
I can hear you I can see you I can feel your threatening Intimidating Crushing Controlling Being That I struggle To breath through That I fight Too see through That I scream Too be heard through That I want No other child to go through Christopher Wellbelove 24 October 2009
Second hand smoke
In the air you hung I walked by Turned my head Before I knew You entered my lungs Absorbed by my blood Flowed around my heart Pumped into my mind Before I knew Addicted to you Christopher Wellbelove 19 October 2007
Secret Diary
Your secrets safe with me Because no one would believe Nowhere which to turn No one to which to run I whisper to my diary Careful you do not hear Because my diary sweetly promised To never tell on me As I desperately cry into the page I close the book as you come again All your secrets that I've kept Safe close by as more secrets [...]
Time
The first time Was just a dream The second time Beyond belief The third time Wonderful The fourth time Incredible The fifth time Indescribable. But the best time The most amazing time The time that can't escape my mind That peeps into my dreams And keeps me awake That fills my veins With a drug That means I am distracted From [...]
Unbearable
I hear you in your room The words he shouts are unclear But I hear every tear that escapes your eyes I feel every tear that is replaced inside Unbearable I hear you calling out Begging for him to stop I'm frozen with fear Picture clear what he's doing to you What he's done to me Unbearable The sound of every time he hits [...]
I cried out
I cried out And she was there A horrible dream She held me till I slept I cried out She was gone His jealously Told her I was to old For her arms Too old For the cuddles So cold Distanced from her love So when I cried out She could not hear me When I cried out Woken from a nightmare Into the lonely darkness I cried out with [...]
Anymore
Please don't hit me Anymore Please don't hold my throat so I can't breath Anymore Please don't hold me down Shout in my face Tell me how You will take my life Anymore I can't take this Anymore Life with tears drowned in fear Anymore Can't wake each day Trapped in your lair My future owned By your cruel control Anymore You [...]
The day he came
Running Jumping Playing Safe Giggles Laughter Fun Loved He came Screaming Shouting Swearing Fear Tears Cruelty Pain Hate Desperation No escape Desperation. The day he came Childhood Freedom Joy Life Taken away Where did our childhood go Has it been kept safe somewhere unknown? And one day [...]
If Only You Knew
So we hadn't seen each other for a while The past kept on keeping us apart I just didn't realise the past And my anger for I felt you let happened Would mean we could never ever speak again They told me that you were dying And all I heard was the unresolved If only I could have known how I would feel After you died and it was to [...]
The letter
The letter I wrote on your wall Scribbled thoughts I could no longer hide from you My feelings open I feel vulnerable As all I had kept inside Shouted out from the wallpaper Every word gives birth to ten others I fight to keep up as they burst from my mind My writing becomes smaller and smaller As I search for the space for the next [...]
Alphabetical Rivers
Alphabetical rivers Flow through pebble dashed shores Swam upstream by a woman that would not say Burnt by words that were taken away Drank by a man With a childhood in his hand Left to drown alone By those who didn't want to know Paddled by all who cared But did not know where to go Every sentence sanity wanted to ignore Piled high [...]
Flying saucers
A plate smashes against the kitchen wall In the middle of another Sunday lunch war For a moment I feel as if I'm not really there As I stop and stare at this world I live in But do not comprehend Across from me John Been drinking again Since he woke Fueling his senseless hatred Driving his rage He's shouting at my mother Telling her [...]
Guided Into The Unknown
Little fingers Held within your hands As you guided us Into the unknown A risk you took For which we paid Only leaving When it was to late Young eyes Fresh and trusting Look to you for protection As the first raised voices turn to strike The first tears are told not to cry Face discovering what to cry for Tiny legs Learnt how to [...]
In the shadows
You sleep in shadows Lie in wait Felt but unseen Waiting for the moment Upon another victim You will creep You forage in desperation Grow with the moon and all it holds Nourished by every searching tear Mightier in the depth of lonely fear Exhaustion is your ally Where you continue to drain You kill all hope around Because you [...]
Stolen
A child giggles Playing a care free game Runs round and round In imaginary circles The laughter growing uncontrollably Stolen A child excited Explores their new world Parents guide inquisitive mind Through the maze of all to learn Stolen A child warms In the arms of their mother Safe, secure and loved Gently drifting Into [...]
Unwritten
I wrote with a pen That had no ink I scribed endless lines But wrote nothing I mouthed the words My lips un-comprehended Then slipped away Leaving all unwritten Forever hidden Christopher Wellbelove 19 September 2007
Still
I begged But still you did I cried But you still hit I screamed But you still punched Untill I lay still You finally stopped Christopher Wellbelove 19 September 2007
Sorry
Sorry To all who loved me Sorry If you can't understand Sorry If you just wanted to hold me Sorry If your mistifed Sorry You couldn't help me Sorry You wonder if Sorry I couldn't stay any more Sorry I never explained my tortouring pain Sorry I could not find the words to share Every unbearable day Sorry I'm so tired So [...]
