When The World Twirls All In A Hush
By
Myrna I. Hernandez
The loneliness inside me screams so deep
In this lone body a baby sleeps
visions of newborns dance in my head
the happiness I hope lies ahead
He lays with another while I'm all alone
A baby inside me his all along
I wonder in a daze to answers I seek
But this warrior will ride his horse to the peak
All around me the world hums
but I live lonely
because he won't come home
So I carry on in a world all alone
Water that make you dizzy
and snow piled so high
green leaves that grow tall
to the heavenly sky
A brown horse in wrapper
could that be all
I almost lost my baby
on the bed I groaned
He says lets get married
and I laugh with glee
I say okay and to the heavens I pray
My baby is happy but just for today
The night before the wedding I prepare all alone
better get used to it, this is my home
I remember in darkness that lonely day
as I hung the white decorations all alone
swollen with baby on the way
His momma said, "Marry her"
"The baby will be a bastard"
Little did I know
this was a disaster
Such meanness I never had known
was about to befall me in my new bride's home
for this is the house I shared all alone
a house full of people
but I'm all alone
My baby was born two months down the way
a beautiful girl with an angel's face
she looked like her father with her mother's ways
this baby was born in a lonely place
Never would this baby get the chance
to live in a happy home
for daddy was out now , forever and a day
and loneliness would take mommy away
The years slipped by
and mommy made a vow
to honor and obey
and that would kill mommy alive one day
We bought a new house
we were on our way
his mistress was gone
and now he would trade
his whore for an addiction
it was here to stay
Upstairs was the truth
and mommy was now sick
she lived in darkness
while her lover played tricks
A weird smell in the air and
the baby was out
I wanted to rip my lonely heart out
and then in the distance
I heard his cousin say
hey girl come join us
now the girl was dead
The wife of an addicted man
addiction it had its own little plan
for when you stay in the chemical land
no one reaches out to lend you a hand
His family defended him no matter the cost
and they danced his dance
a man that was broken
and lived in a trance
She is the culprit
Oh don't you see
no matter what goes wrong
she must be strong
Once a vibrant women capable and strong
she is the reason for all your wrongs
now battered and scared
with a grown daughter preparing her bars
The chains was not broken
for mommy was not strong
the vibrant young lady is on her way
to learn what mommy learned
two decades, two year a month and a day
The life can be cruel
when ruled by men
that play their wives dirty
and always pretend
that you are at fault
no matter what happens
and no matter when
a world created dark and lonely
spinning round and round
another baby born in broken town
for when we don't heed the sound of the lush
we enter into a chemical rush
That twirls and whirls
in black and white
from darkness to morning
and all through the night
the lonely sound of the chemical hush..!!
