Abused

Your cries haunt me
At night is when it's the worst
The pain flows from your mouth like a raging river
A river that is never still
It only slows
Together we will face your most hated fears
The fears that make you scream
Screams that wake me at all hours of the night
I calm you the best I can
Only to be pushed away
Away from the one place you need me most
Your hell on earth
Your nightmare that at one time used to be your way of life
The past for some may be rather present
For you it's far from hell
It's worse
The ones you trusted
The ones you thought loved you turned against you
Hurt you in ways only a demon could dream
How alone you must feel
How you must fear any person who shows kindness
Oh my dear sweet darling child
Now I know why you push so hard against comfort
Together we will face the nightmares
Together we will face the future
I will never leave your side my child
Soon you will see
I am the one you can trust my dear
I am the one who loves you true
I am the one who will protect you from all evil
To protect you from the pain you fear
The pain you knew that will never be again
The pain that makes you cry so hard at night when I am so near
