Gagged

by Caroline on October 12, 2009

The silence in the room echoed

although loud voices filled the air

I glanced at her sitting alone

uneasy in her chair.

In her eyes I saw a reflection,

a shadow of who she’d been.

I thought I heard her whisper,

it was her silent scream.

Who my darling daughter were you writing about? Or I do I simply recognise something here?
