My poem titled: Why her?

Start writing...She was an innocent and sweet little red rose

She laughed and loved with no boundaries

She played and fluttered around like a little butterfly

Spreading her wings freely from side to side

All the blues, purples and pinks is what made her

So why? Why did this have to happen?

Why did your shades of darkness be placed upon her?

You took advantage of her innocence

And preyed on her without a thought

Why? Tell me why?

A piece of this innocent and sweet child was taken

The laughter and love that was once so strong

Was drained from every part of her being

Like the colour of blood rushing from a dieing person's body

You changed her

Tell me why?

Why did she have to experience such pain

The pain and memories were forever lodged into her mind

She couldn't understand why she feared commitment

Or why she feared to be loved or touched

So, to protect herself from the hurt and pain

She grew cold

She became ice cold

Why though? Why her?

As years passed

As the ones that loved her left

Because she didn't know how to love them back

She asked the question one last time

Why?

The answer did not come though, so she changed

She decided to change

She decided the love was something she wanted

She decided the love and laughter was something she deserved

She learnt that there was one and only one thing to do

Forgive!

So she did just that

Not for "him"

But for "her"

She broke the shackles of power you had over her

What happened to her was never going to have a hold over her again

Through forgiveness she found freedom

Through forgiveness the red rose bloomed again

Through forgiveness the butterfly that once fluttered her gorgeous blues, purples and pink wings was back

Through forgiveness she found freedom

That's her why.
