Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

Monsters Never Cry

He robbed her of her innocence 
A man she's supposed to trust 
She's used to be his princess 
Now, his perverted lust 

Each night she cries herself to sleep 
Surrounded by her fears 
She feels her daddy's footsteps 
Like thunder, in her tears 

He's much worse than any monster 
A child should ever see 
Haunted by his sinful touch 
She fights him fervently 

He comes to her without regret 
And leaves an empty shell 
A demon spawn, without remorse 
An evil, straight from hell 

He never feels his daughter's pain 
But yet she understands why 
For everyone knows that monsters are real 
And monsters never cry

Ralph Taylor February 19, 2011 at 6:14 AM Wow what a sad and tragic piece, my friend. Unfortunately it happens way too often. Excellent piece. You can feel the fear and pain. Thanks for your comments. I asked if you had Skype. It's a small camera (about 30 bucks) you plug into your computer. You can not only talk to someone, like on the phone, but you also see each other. It's amazing. Just wondering if you had one or every heard of Skype? Have a good weekend. Ralph
