A drunk girl is raped by a 'friend'. She doesn't report it or tell anyone until me. |
Happiness is her goal But the secrets and fears of her past Are the bars of the prison That holds her heart To keep her in and keep me out Protect, deny, and avoid Gazing upon those eyes Held fast with no chains Ghosts haunt her days And demons come at night The child behind those eyes A grown-up little girl Who hides beneath the covers Of a life that could have been Bravery is her weakness Sweep it all away Into the corners of her mind Where no one else can see But the truth comes bubbling up Her issues always rise Push them down, the only way Denying them their day Seeing me, but fearing him In her own mind's eye When I get too close To see her heart Behind those cold steel bars The sentence she is given Her shame and guilt so real Too much to bear for any girl Who hides away from the world Seeking to escape the pain Damaged beyond repair Finding her only solace Addiction's price seems so unfair Therapy was so wasted Too ashamed to tell the truth Of what happened to her That drunken night All those years ago She didn't smile in his direction No wink or nod did invite But alcohol made her easy prey Nothing would ever be the same Her memory so blurred But can never be forgotten No report...not even mentioned To those who loved and cared the most About this sweet young girl A story so horrendous Yet seems is all too common Her guilt and shame Behind tortured eyes That never should have been |
