Only Heaven Can Wait
By LOKI
My name is Sarah
and Im only five
I like flowers
and puppies
And pretty blue skies
I do good in school
but I couldnt
go today
Because questions would be asked
about the bruises on
my face
My name is Sarah
and Im only five
I like building
sandcastles
and making mud pies
I like laying outside
and
gazing up at the stars
No school today
cigarette burns on my
arms
My name is Sarah
and Im only five
I had my whole
life
ahead of me
Until the day that I died
Last night I
was killed
by my father himself
Only heaven can wait
as
I have escaped my hell

What an absolutely devastating topic, and how tragic those last two lines. This is the type of write that hits a reader hard and sticks in their gut. Sadly written but nicely done.

Most people on this site think they write evil shit but this is real and dark and I like the word sledgehammer the other commenter used. Very sad but a true situation for many.
