Love Unknown

The drifting fog of solemn gray

That brings such darkness to the day,

Surrounds me as I walk alone

Through desolate streets of love unknown.

And in the fog I see a trace

Of all the tears time can't erase,

A little girl who's wandering still

In search of love, her heart to fill.

No one knows the pain I feel

And to me the world's unreal.

I search through darkness all alone

To find a love to call my own.

To be pierced with such heartache

Is to be stabbed with a knife...

To be without love

Is to be without life.

A poem written by a 16 year old victim of child abuse.
