Her Shatter Life Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL WHEN HER MOM REMARRY
AND SAW A SMILE BACK ON HER MOTHERS FACE
I HATED THE WHOLE IDEAL OF SHARING ARE SPACE
BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS OURS
IS NOW HIS PLACE TOO SHE SAID
AND FOR A YEAR THINGS SEEM TO BE COOL
TILL MY MOTHER STARTED WORKING THE ALL NIGHT SHIFT
FOR MORE MONEY,
AND THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPEN
AT FIRST HE WOULD TUCK ME IN A LITTLE KISS GOODNIGHT
THAN IT BECAME MORE AND MORE THIS TIME
TOUCHING ME WITH HIS HANDS OUT OF SIGHT
AS I TOLD HIM TO STOP YOUR HURTING ME
BUT I WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL TONIGHT
AS HE STARTED TO GET ON TOP OF ME
I TOLD MY MOTHER SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME
SAYING I'M CAUSING TROUBLE
I SAID IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE
THAN YOU WOULD BELIEVE ME
BUT SHE STILL DIDN'T BELIEVE ME
AND WALK AWAY
NOT EVEN ASKING HIM ANY THING
BUT I KNOW IF SHE DID WHAT HE WOULD SAY
AND LAUGH IT OFF
LIKE A CAPTAIN CHANGING HIS COURSE
SO THAT'S WHEN MY LIFE GOT SHATTER
WHEN MY STEP DAD TOUCH ME
THAN DOING A LOT MORE AS I GOT OLDER
MAINLY BEING INSIDE OF ME
TILL I WAS OLDER ENOUGH TO GO
AND BE FREE
[ BUT STILL MY LIFE IS SHATTER ]
WITH MY DREAMS BECOMING NIGHTMARES
WITH NO HOPE IN SIGHT
BECAUSE I GAVE UP MY FAITH TONIGHT
SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL
BECAUSE I KNOW I'M GONNA BURN UP IN HELL
FOR WHAT HE DID TO ME
