Childhood

As-s-a-s-sin de-light

shameless instead.

Without tears nor shouts

early fears beyond doubt.

Tight-lipped

every night

gnashed your teeth.

Gifted with

a care-le-ss touch

hand-ful (of) warmth

a mere straight glance.

Puzzle-d

torn to pieces.

Bleeding why-te

improper pride

invalid bravery

untimely might.

Pro-longed for peace

forced with a -g-.

One step forward

fall down

and crawl

to stand

needles-s pain
