Best Poems Written by Aurora Harrington

Little Lamb

" I love you" 
He'd say as he held her hand 
In the noon day.

She believed him. 
She believed his lies 
And fake promises.
She trusted him 
And his deep blue 
Reassuring eyes.

She loved him back 
Until he locked her in his bedroom.

Fear rooted in the core
Of a daughter 
Who sat their innocent and scared 
Like a lamb before a slaughter 

You'd think his parents 
Would have taught him some decency 
It that it would at least 
Be inked in his humanity.
But no.
Not at all
