Stolen Innocence

A cry pierces the darkness A soul, wounded with shame Another stolen innocence Devoured, by guilt ridden blame She sits and draws her pictures Of the evil that haunts her dreams A secret, wrapped in silence With no one, to hear her screams A child, with no protector She's only eight years old Forced to the live her nightmares In this darkness, yet untold A princess without a hero To save her from her fears Her only friend, her pillow That muffle her silent tears A future without an ending She's learned to hate the night An ending without a future She's lost the will to fight Scarred, without emotion She no longer wants to survive She cries herself to sleep each night And prays for death to arrive
