Sweet Child

Just a little girl
A sweet child of six
doesn't deserve the constant lies
And streams of clinics
Fake names and dates
For all the new hurts
While she sits there and cries
And he pretends to comfort
She knows better than to look at him
As they ask how it happened
"I fell" she says
That's why her eye is blackened
When they get home
She runs to her room
She sits scared on her bed
In the darkness and gloom
Then the door opens
And a chill runs down her spine
She doesn't know what will happen
She looks for a sign
A hand crack across her face
And she falls to the ground
He turns on the radio
To drown out the sound
Before she can get up
She feels a kick in her side
She looks around the room
But find no place to hide
"I'm sorry!" she yells
For what she's unsure
But it will do no good
There's more pain to endure
As the world finally goes dark
She feels no more pain
She knows that after today
She'll never be hurt again
As they take him away
The neighbors watch and cry
"Such a sweet child" they say
"It wasn't her time to die"
