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.
