I made some changes to this one. Beautiful Bed It has lace and flowers and so plain to see And, oh, how the pink and the white shines so brightly to me Just look how it lies so perfect and calm Untouched layers of satin to rest upon... I can't wait until nighttime just to rest my head And, I can't wait to fall into that beautiful bed So pretty and peaceful I'll sleep good tonight And, surround myself in such pink and white... Amen and watch over them and I closed my eyes I finished my prayer when I heard him walk inside Now God this can't happen I'm in a new place now But, I leaned with the weight as he layed himself down... My hearts going fast and the tears won't end New place but same thing happening again Little girl you just don't know what you mean to me Now climb under the sheets so no one will see... I stared at the ceiling as I turned over to him I will surrender all hope and just give in God there's the hand that hurts all that I own Oh, beautiful bed, another night, we are not alone... I feel here beside me why I am just so weak Cause beautiful bed I can't stand to hear him breathe And I've never known a kiss than my Daddy's ones Oh, beautiful bed I hate what little boys become... Now little girl I'll show you what a grown up does Don't cry, little girl, it's all done out of love It hurts me more, little girl, then it will ever hurt you Oh, beautiful bed you know that it hurts me too... Little girl here is what a grown up knows and does best And, with extreme weight over me I found what comes next And, there was the hand so no noise can be made Oh, beautiful bed please make this grown man go away... Oh, to what I really thought I would never again go through Never seen a beautiful bed so ugly as I felt it quickly move Oh, beautiful bed how did I think your view could stop my rain And, oh, beautiful bed I could never look at you the same...

Saunni... Thank you for sharing this very special poem with us. It's an extremely difficult piece to read, as it should be. This issue isn't an easy one to face in our lives... Whether fictional or from experience, you've taken a sensitive issue and shown us what it feels like to be a helpless child at the hands of self-serving adults... Thank you, dear lady, for your insight...  |

A most difficult topic...one that surely was not easy to write. You make us share the pain...again, not an easy task... You are to be commended! |

You have captured a difficult topic from the innocent eyes of the victim Saunni, and the depth of emotion this brings to the reader is tremendous. A highly emotive piece, and one which I think brings this challenging subject into focus from the victim's vantage. Very well written ... Best wishes, /Kit |

painful write..and I admire the way you present this difficult subject. I hope the understanding of how horrible it is to use a child for an adults amusement becomes a universal and unchallenged law in human behavior. But...until the world and its people grow wiser, their will be continued instances of abuse. My heart to the vistims everywhere.. |

Saunni, this is very painful to read, as it should be. You have penned a topic which must be so horrible for the victim, I can only imagine, and you did so in a very honest and visual piece. As horrific as this act is, it must be brought to light, faced, and the perpetrators punished. More importantly, the victims must be helped to heal. You have outstandingly penned a very very difficult topic. Thank you for opening my eyes...this should never happen to any child! ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

The innocence of the first two verses is ripped away as the poem progresses... following the pattern of her life. The pain of reading can't possibly compare with that of experiencing... but you've painted that horror well. This is an excellent write! |

Saunni- This is such a painful and disturbing subject, and very difficult to read about. You've done an excellent job of bringing these emotions to life for the reader. I, for one, could very much feel the fear and pain of the child in this situation. I appreciate you sharing this perspective with us, and applaud you on an extremely well written piece. Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (02-28-2002 10:34 AM).] |
