Tears of sadness
Stream down my face
As I remember the abuse
That took place
I cried so much
But you never heard
You didn't believe me
You took his word
I tried so hard
To be a good girl
Not telling the secrets
That happened, in my world
A world filled with
So much heartache and pain
I wanted to die
Not suffer in vain
I know now
All he told was lies
Yet at age five
I was too young
To see thru his disguise
His blue eyes, cold as steel
Preying upon me
Like I was his last meal
Taking from me
What no one can give back
My lost innocence
A child of five
How can you say
You never knew
When you saw me
All battered
Black and blue
You heard my screams
But ignored them too
Now tell me mommy
Why should I love you? |
