A Painful Death

[freakinside69]

A child cries out in the night
her innocent voice is full of fright
she prays in hopes that dad won't hear
but soon footsteps are coming near
she tries the hide beneth the bed
but her hopes are filled with dread
no one sees her cuts and bruises
no one hears her cry in pain
'cause when they came, it was too late
is this what they mean by fate?
a child dies a painful death
the father is set free
while mother sits with never ending guilt
because of something no one would see
