Lost Innocence

This young girl kept from sight

crying into the middle of the night

she fears that others will sense the shame

but was this girl really too blame?

this little girl who was full of belief

could not from him seem to find relief

she feels so dirty with her clothes which are tore

when she is being flung on the bedroom floor

this broken child lost her innocence at a very young age

through a trusted mans deliberate drunken rage

her little broken heart was full of pain

through the rest of her life it would stain

people would see the bruises that lay upon her face

she wanted and longed for her special place

while he was looking around

this little girl couldn't make a sound

she couldn't have her own bed

he would be there touching her instead

taking her clothes off he would touch

this haunted her little heart so much

she just wanted him to understand

but instead she got the back of his hand

night after night she endured this pain

never to be happy ever again

this little angel from above

could not find the slightest inch of love

this mountain of unnoticed fear

went on year after year

while she was crying silent tears

he was tucking into some beers

why would no one come to her aid

day after day her happiness would fade

this went on for so, so long

and no one thought that this was wrong

this little girl that no one could save

she longed for her peaceful grave.
