Creeping slowly, silently
She hears the footsteps come
Closer, closer to her side
And inside she grows numb.

The door is shut, lock in place
Her nightmare comes to life
Gentle hands, caressing words
Cut through her like a knife.

Minutes seem like hours long
But finally it ends
Slowly, sorely she gets up
Oh, who can break this trend?

She scrubs and washes till she's red
And no one understands
Her silent cries go unknown
But to the stroker's hand.

Fearful, frightening days and nights
Are what her child mind knows
She believes she must be bad
And pain is what she sows.

Oh, this literally gave me chills while reading. Beautifully put together, and such a sad story. I am so sorry if you went through this, or someone you love did. What an ugly, painful thing for a little girl to endure. Almost enough to make you hate men..

Another tragedy...a well done poem.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
