od to mother

fear wraps its cold hands around a small heart
panic seeps into the mind of a small girl
as her protector walks away
letting a monster clam her child

she screams out
tears drown her eyes
innocents pain reality
beautiful young soul
childhood taken away

a little girl lays in the floor
her mother walks to her
all she says is
this is life baby girl, after today it will never look the same

turning out the light she leaves
the shell of a girl
the shattered world
and scared child.
