Stars no longer shine,
In the midst of the chilling night.
The moon no longer glows,
As a child with-stands the fight.
Torture in the darkness,
Shadows creep and kill.
Forgotten innocence and trust,
Evil cracks and breaks her will.
Salted tears dyed with blood,
She screams for angels and pleads for mercy.
Acid runs through her mangeled corps,
And she is lost within the frailty.
Defiled and beaten she has no escape,
She grows into an empty shell.
Hidden away inside herself,
Trying desprately to erase the hell.
Silver slices at the flesh,
Easing the torment and memories.
Trying to run, to fly and be free,
But her wings are infected with the disease.
Chained to the nightmare,
Tainted by the horror, yet trying to stay alive.
She knows she must keep breathing despite the pain,
She must fight the darkness, fade the bruises and survive.

The rhyme was great in this piece
I hope that you really didn't go through it
And if you did, I'm really soory
No one should have to go through that
I wouldn't even want my worst enemy having to go through that.
Keep it all up,
love,

Momma, Momma, Momma. I don't know what to say. You got a few tears coming out of my eyes and rolling down my cheeks then. You said it so smoothly and perfectly. My heart really felt this poem and it softened it down to where it really needs to be. It was just so amazing in everyway shape and form. It was just so.. so hard to really explain how it made me feel and how wonderful the poem was. The title really caught my eye and the poem was just as great. There was so much pain and yet in the end I could almost feel some hope. I could imagine that the girl you are talking about, is much really yourself. I might be wrong by that, or I might not. But if I am, I'm hurt to hear that your in so much pain and if there is anything I can do to help or if you wanna talk. I'm always here. Great poem Momma Tasha and you have so much talent. You truely inspire me with your words
