Peace

In the darkest night
innocence was stolen;
swept away by the silent
stares of those who watch
her agony, feed off her pain.

Empty faces stare as they walk past,
mouth open to reveal razor sharp teeth
and eyes glowing red against the pale moon.
The night presses in on all sides
making it hard to breath and
impossible to move.

Ghosts of her childhood mock her.
Show her what she once was, 
show her what she once had.

One by one
the stars all disappear
leaving her to cry in peace.
