Lisa Brannon Poet Rhyme

Never Again

Come lay down with me
Let's snuggle awhile
You've grown into a woman
Beautiful just like your mom

Those words she'll always remember
They repeat in the back of her head
So do the actions taken place
The placement of his hands

She was just a woman child
Not yet fully grown
He stole something special
Left it shatter and torn

She needed protection
From the one who was protecting
What a twisted way to think of life
From a childs prospective

Now she's all grown up
Daughters of her own
Never will this happen to them
Never will they ever be left all alone

She'll teach them that not everyone
They know can be trusted
Even the ones they hold in their hearts
The ones who are supposed to be closest

Shaunda Lindsay March 16, 2016 at 9:38 PM What a beautifully written, yet very sad poem.. That's all we can do after this happens to us. Protect out children. I love the strength in this and the love of the mother for her children.
