When You Come Poem by Maya Angelou
When You Come
When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.

Gatherings of days too few.
Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves.
Trunks of secret words,
I CRY.

This is so painful to read. The innocence of her childhood stripped bare. When he comes, she cries. I love Maya Angelou. She is a phenomenal human being.
