Silent she sat

In a corner of her heart

Pain, her sole companion,

Her smile, a lost friend.

–

Society had left her,

Shivering and cold,

Her fingers covered her face,

Withered and cold

–

Soft hands had lured her,

Into a trap carefully crafted,

Cruel hands now tormented,

Broke her through and through

–

All she used to feel,

She no longer felt,

Her own past made her reel,

Hated the cards she was dealt.

–

The violence she faced,

Wasn’t just physical,

Her mind too faced words,

Ruthlessly, mindlessly spoken.

–

Tears streaked her face,

Liked dried out rivers on a hill,

Labelled “just another case”,

Her soul went still.
