Who was the girl who was broken with a knife

by Emily F. Gelb   Dec 31, 2005


Her name was never known
Because she had no friends
But this is her story
And how her life ends

She was just a little girl
Around the age of seven
But this is how she died
And how she went to heaven

When she was very little
Her Father went away
Her mother gave her orders
That she couldn't disobey

If she messed them up
Even just a little bit
She'd have to sit in her room
and wait to be hit

And everyday after school
She'd wait on her bed
Waiting for her mother's arrival
Which she so much would dread

Sometimes if she was happy
Her mother would forget her hate
But what made the girl insane
Was waiting to see her fate

Day after day
She waited hopelessly
Wondering if she'd be tortured
Or if she'd be set free

And one day her mom didn't come home
until late into the night
The little girl wondered
If her mommy was alright

When her mom did arrive
She wasn't thinking straight
She took a knife and stabbed
The child she'd created

Her mother then passed out
On the carpet floor
The little girl just stood there
standing in horror

She looked at her mother
And then down at the knife
She looked over at her bedroom
and then up to the sky

Again the little girl waited
Until all her functions ceased
But this time she was waiting
To be released

It wasn't scary anymore
and she wasn't afraid to go
She sucked in one last breathe of air
And blew out one final blow

From then on we can't imagine
what happened to her soul
All we know is that she died
Under her Mother's control

There are kids out there
Just like this,
who want to get away
Whos mother's and fathers
Have led there life astray

Listen to the signs
That are easily passed by
The bruises on the arms
The small childs cry

If you notice something
That just isn't right
Get help for that child
and end their fright

There are children out there
who just want some comfort
in their life
So if you see a little kid
Don't just pass by

Prevent someone from dieing
By feeling a child's pain
You can save there soul
And help there bodys remain
