Stolen Treasure

Innocence blown like chaff away
Her defenses linen thin
Finding nothing within her grasp
As he lies upon the skin

Silent screams as loud as air
Shame and horror fill her lungs
Pain as sharp as skin is bare
Crumbling value of one so young

Though not at fault, left to blame
Self worth melting like wax
Nightmares expand every inch of the brain
Replaying the scene of haunted attacks

The effecting outcome of molestation
Is damaging the souls of this great nation

Happens all too often and the moment scars a lifetime. Makes me angry just thinking about it. Well written.
