Seized in the Night

Stolen Innocence

The freckled girl cries, the monstrous c**k crows. She walks in the morn but wakes she does not. The beast pecks and pecks; the bleeding, it grows. So numb and cold though she ought to be hot. The poisonous snake entangles her soul. She tells no one of this battle or foe. Buried, she is, in a dark and deep hole. Innocence stolen; no longer a doe. Games this beast plays are no longer that fun. Dreams become nightmares and nightmares are dreams. He says she can’t hide; escape and she’ll run. Silent Death, though she tries to utter screams. Soar above the clouds, somehow overcome, Or slip and falter to merely succumb.

I feel this pain .. this is a stark look at molestation written with wonderful metaphors.
This verse really hiiys hard :

The poisonous snake entangles her soul.
She tells no one of this battle or foe.
Buried, she is, in a dark and deep hole.
Innocence stolen; no longer a doe.

How dare that innocence be taken .. wonderfully written, Leah.

This is a great and beautiful pen, although the subject matter is so hirrible and disturbing. You've done a great job and I'd definately love to see more of your poetry. Thank you for sharing, I'm sorry and hope this wasn't to personal for you.

This poem breaks my heart.
I'm in love with the emotions coursing through this one.

I stumbled on a couple of lines, flow wise, but i don't think it matters, to be honest.
