Sweet Child

Contributed by JadedExistence on Saturday, 31st January 2004 @ 03:41:57 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

Just a little girl
A sweet child of six
doesn't deserve the constant lies
And streams of clinics

Fake names and dates
For all the new hurts
While she sits there and cries
And he pretends to comfort

She knows better than to look at him
As they ask how it happened
"I fell" she says
That's why her eye is blackened

When they get home
She runs to her room
She sits scared on her bed
In the darkness and gloom

Then the door opens
And a chill runs down her spine
She doesn't know what will happen
She looks for a sign

A hand crack across her face
And she falls to the ground
He turns on the radio
To drown out the sound

Before she can get up
She feels a kick in her side
She looks around the room
But find no place to hide

"I'm sorry!" she yells
For what she's unsure
But it will do no good
There's more pain to endure

As the world finally goes dark
She feels no more pain
She knows that after today
She'll never be hurt again

As they take him away
The neighbors watch and cry
"Such a sweet child" they say
"It wasn't her time to die"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
