Rough Hand

Theirs rules broke other rules
The rules of mankind

She was kept in the shadows
Watched her mother sink in fear

She took on roles although just a child
as her mother was supposed too

an Aunt helped her from the shoadows
after being betrayed by a lust

she had mistaken this lust
as LOVE

Then a love apeard in the light of the shadows
and she had fallen deep within him

she had given him herself
her whole self

the sweet smell of his breath
as she sunk deeply into his warm and strong arms

and was pulled back into the shadows
buy a rough and burning hand

the smell of Johnnie WB on his breath
her father seen no part of her

other then the punching bag
he had used her for

a small accident
quickly grew into gossip

he came to save her
but the rough hand quickly swiped the love away

the child no more
she had nothing to do but to perish

Author notes

This poem was written after reading the book Burned by Ellen Hopkins. It is about a young Morman girl who lives with an abusive alcoholic father and then when she finds real love it is taken away and no one can get it back.
