Abused and Ignored

The sadness in her eyes that you always see,

The painful cries you always hear,

Every night you are wondering

What is she up to and why is she crying

She asked for your help but you just shrugged it off

Running after you but you're always storming off,

Night after night she still doesn't stop,

You covered your ears but then something snapped,

The bruises and the marks that were covering her body

Were just the proof that she was never been happy,

One night you decided to help,

To stop the sobbing and the loud  yelps,

But then in the morning a shocking news greeted you,

That the innocent little girl you just turned your back to

Was found dead breathless in her messy bed,

The guilt suddenly crept in your body,

Your knees dropped involuntarily,

You want to cry and you want to scream,

Because you were there but you did nothing.
