Her Unknowing Face Date: Monday, 1st November 2004 @ 07:10:58 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: chicken The girl's unknowing face, Haunts my mind and soul. I, not prepared for that moment, Looked into those four-year-old eyes, And wonder how it could happen to her. She was too young, too innocent, Too fragile to face such horror. I shift my gaze to her parents, Who, perhaps most saddingly, Will someday have to explain what happened. Then my mind, in a twist unexpected, Shifts to the monster who did this. True, the perpertraitor was a vile boy, Of only thirteen years, But there is nothing I want more in my rage, Than to see him pay with his life. For, through all my training and skills, I cannot save this young girl's innocence. This poem is Copyright © chicken Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
