Travesty....

(My contribution to this week's prompt and link)


Sitting quietly, I shed a tear
No one near to hold and care
The one I loved the most
Is the one for whom I fear….

She was small, innocent and dear
Her guilt was her prayer
Which they didn’t hear
When they killed her…over and over


That’s my princess there
I thought she was so pretty and rare
But now I sit next to her
Laid like a showpiece none could care

Result of someone’s lust
Her life and my dreams now lay in dust
Put to rest, she must
But should some one have done…..
Something so outrageous

Would she get the justice she deserved…?
Would I get back to my life unreserved...?
Would it ever be the same again…?
None to hold, none to care…
Just coz someone took a dare…
To do something outrageous

Well written and very touching .
Like Gemma says the "why" which will for most remain unanswered is so heartbreaking. How can there be any pleasure at all in such a brutal action I completely fail to understand.
