Consumed

How can a picture
Haunt a mind that doesn't see,
So terrified, it
split in two
Rather than believe?

He was there to take her soul
and anything she owned
Without even knowing it at
Only 5 years old

The stage was set
the fix was in
it finally was that time
Her body would BETRAY her with a
Welcome sign

He took her adoration,
Put a premium on it,
Exploring hidden depths before she knew what hit

Then her heart broke
into a million jagged shards,
Her body ripped carelessly apart

No way to repair the damage that he'd done;
Every wound SCREAMED loudly that he'd won

She lost herself more every time
He pinned her down,
Until she could no longer make a sound ....

But now there's
No more little girl,
Except in dark of night -
When every last memory
of her torturous young life
Rises up and
Eats
Me
Alive
