Such horrors...

[Anastasia513]

Round and round the circle goes, the faster you go the harder you fall.
Names and faces soon begin to blur and fade, and you no longer care about yesterday.
Tomorrow will come, tomorrow will go, the pain and the tears never will though.
The fear in your mind that it won't ever leave, memories of a life that will never be.
The slap of a hand across your cheek, you were too young to know and you were so weak.
You fought and you pleaded but never could win, you sometimes felt like comitting the ultimate sin.
You screamed out in terror at the second blow, you couldn't get away quicker, you were too slow.
He smiled down at you with rage in his eyes, He was no longer human, it was all just a lie.
She couldn't save you she tried to so hard, for the hand you were dealt turned out to be the wrong cards.
You lay on the floor shattered and bleeding, your last glimpse of hope seemed so lost and fleeting.
You looked up at the man that was causing the pain, he was no longer your daddy, he was no longer sane.
The hitting finally stops and he walks out the door, but you know he will soon be back for more.
You kneel on your knees, even though they are sore, and you begin to pray to the one that they all call the lord.
Your mother is yelling for him to stop, your sister is missing, her protection you sought.
Finally the sounds melt away, as he runs out the front door, and into the pouring rain.
You run to your mother who has her face turned away, you crawl up on the bed beside her for you plan to stay.
You put your face next to hers as she crys herself to sleep, you kiss her forehead goodnight, and whispher her a promise you wish you could keep.
"It's ok mommy, it'll be alright, he's gone now mommy, we can sleep through the night."
You rub her wrinkled cheeks over and over, and twril her gray hair in you small hands as you lay there and hold her.
You were only a little girl, you shouldnt have had to known such horrors, you would never learn how to let go and to just move foward.
