lonely child
lost in her silence
quiet child
no one can hear screaming
alone in her silence
pain greater than life
slowly dying inside
betrayed by artificial kindness
wrapped in unkind gestures
hollow praises consumed by hate
racked with the shame of deceit
devastated by the hands of one loved
childhood stolen
innocence gone
with the stroke of an illicit caress
self esteem decimated
left in ruins
lonely child
