another little girl

By cre

knees hit the floor
and a little girl prays
please please god
just take me away
amidst the clatter
and the crashing thuds
then silence, then footsteps
and there's no time to run
she tries to bar the door
even though she'll lose
and her head will hit the wall
when he smashes into the room
she'll crawl for the closet
but that will make it worse
he just looms out of the darkness
and reaches in and grabs her

and then it's just dark
and hours have died away
and her body hurts
and she wonders why she prayed
there's blood
and she's seen too much of life
and even though there's pain
she doesn't want to cry
she whispers
to where ever god may be
i hate you now
for never hearing me
and tears fall
and puddle under her head
and she closes her eyes and wants
to only wake up dead
but she will see another day
in her torn-up little world

it's just another life
of another little girl.

Why is it that some people live this, others cry for and, and some never even admit it exists at all? I commend you for your brutal honesty and tender writing.

*Deep Breath* It is a sad story, a sad write that has been told a thousand different ways in a million different words. Every piece like this one, I absorb and I cry for. Yet every individual story, I do not remember. In a sea of like horrible tales…yours

DOES stand out for the class with which you told it. A thing so delicate is often hard to subjugate to technique and style….yet you did. That is *as I was told by a teacher* true writing talent. Very, very well told. Flows wonderfully and is nothing less

it's like a memory that doesn't quite come when you think of it... barely there... slips away when you try to corner it... ::sighs:: things like this should never be.

i've found it harder and harder to read your works... i find shades of life and little scraps of things buried, not ready to surface in my head that are burned into reality by your words...

pain, not so ephemeral not so beautiful as the romantic would have it seem... seeming... dreaming... lost and dying...

I agree with Justin, beautiful flow, haunting. It literally made me shake when I read it, because it is true, yet it is fantasy. Another very very good write.
A former member wrote: wow... that is a very good piece I really liked how if flowed and actualy caused a shiver to run through my spine. very good job.
