For one who is so kind and loving
being thrown into the life she leads
breaks my very heart in half.
Her tearstained eyes and blood soaked wrists
haunt my dreams when she is away.
Feeling so helpless to stop what happens
unable to be there every second of everyday.
Feeling her pain inside of myself
listening to her cry out for help
as it falls upon deaf ears.
Listening from miles away
I cry, hiding my tears from her view
so as not to cause her own.
I curse those who would ever torture
such a beautiful soul as this one.
Any who would ever raise a hand
or merely their voice at this angel
before me, will beg for forgiveness one day.
