Fourteen

by Kalika - Scorpio

The tears upon her cheeks
Like rivers of blood
As she sits in her hospital bed
She can feel her life ebb away
She can clearly remember the day
She gave him something, now forever lost
And then she was discarded
Thrown in the corner with a smirk
She's broken
Afterwards, he acts like nothing's changed
Till night falls and his tender touch
Melts into fists of rage
Which he uses to beat her into submission
Broken, she's always broken
She can feel him, he enjoys it
his ecstasy comes from brutality
I can see what's written on her grave
You don't gives it a thought:

"She wasn't a daddy's girl
She'll never be prom queen, 
Because she was raped, beaten
Murdered at fourteen."

Reason for writing:

    I felt like righting one of those sad poems that makes you think about the brutality of human nature. so I gave it a try.
