A Cry For Help
She lay there in the darkness,
Waiting to hear the click
Of the turning of the door knob.
She knew that it would come,
She wasn't sure just when.
Let it be over soon.
Night after night,
Year after year.
Her body and mind,
Abused and confused.
She feels powerless to say NO
Yet she knows that this is wrong
She made a promise not to tell
Not to say a word to anyone
She throws her mother glances
Hoping she would understand.
Hope upon hope
Gone with the night.
Her body and mind
Don't care anymore.
