the sounds of steps,

he kept awake and never slept.

always listening out to hear,

since he was driven into fear.

his rooms shrouded in darkness,

this child was never given kindness.

he had no voice,

not given any choice.

. . . . . .

That is enough 

now you have been hushed.

forever now silent.

being beaten from violence.

the child's last thought,

the only thing his parents taught was that, "it was all his fault. . . "
