Fragile Poem by nikki hays

She was young as she remembers it
Twisted, hushed, frightened
Timid little girl scared and alone
Shaking in the darkness
Her silence screams out for mercy
So young to face such violence
When will her scars be gone
Timid little girl scared and alone
Lives to be young woman
Feels her anger grow
Resentment for all strangers
When will she ever know
The feelings of true romance
Torn from her were fairy tales
In her dreams she grew
On her face revenge now shows
All men who now court her
Sense her inner difference
Some they will abuse it
But never will they see
Soon Timid little girl scared and alone
Becomes a strong grown woman
In time the men will see her
As she takes place on her throne
Sitting in her ivory tower
She stares and sees her suitors
Wicked evil woman she has now grown up to be
She has power of them
Beautiful seductress
No more will they bring pain
Never again suffer shall she
Dominatrix some have called her
Clad in all her leather
Twisted angry smile
That hides her bitter past
She will not forgive him
For his death came too soon for her
She wished it had been her knife
That found its way into his chest
For all her life she wanders
A child lost in the dark wood
Her body might be older
But in her memories she is young
Poor innocent little baby
She was when all this happened
When he snuck into her bedroom
And her innocense he stole
