Monster

Childhood innocence quickly dies when monsters show their lying eyes. Love doesn't play a part in this game she is merely a pawn in his shame. The monster devours her hot tears; He gains a vicious strength from her fears. The shame will last for several years. She believes she has herself to blame. Childhood innocence quickly dies. She quietly covers her face and cries; dreaming of a world with blue skies. She recoils when he whispers her name. She's so young with a delicate frame. The monster is her sad demise, Childhood innocence quickly dies.

Childhood abuse can devastate a child both physically and emotionally and some never heal. You have written a profound piece Cynthia, one in which I can relate. A warm welcome to Poetry Soup. Aloha, Connie : )
