Monster In My Night

Little girl only 6 years old

Being so naïve thinking there

Was no one better in the world

Till the night came that changed everything

Once a bright light, who you were

Finally came apparent to my sight

I begged and cried and screams for help

But we were alone so help never heard

Increased over time came the visits

And just as quick came the thought of disgust

Hatred and insecurity soon followed suit

I couldn't even look in a mirror

Because the reflection would show my truth

But quite was my mouth for fear of consequence

She was so happy and telling her would destroy her

So I held it in and said nothing instead

Here comes adulthood and over what you did

I thought I achieved

But a scared little girl I still seem to be

As you live your life, Justice never found

A ghost of past

My darkened embrace

My monster in my night

Waiting for the day the thought and memory, just like you

Will disappear too.
