Flash of the Past

Whats wrong little girl? Why are you crying?
"I sliced my wrists, does this mean I'm dying?"
She sobbed into her pillow, broken and sad,
Looking back at the life that she's never had.

Hopelessly shaking, clenching her fist,
Slits of hopelessness carved in her wrist,
What a beautiful girl, hidden by tears,
Haunted by memories and drowned in her tears.

Screaming in agony, fighting for life,
Cursing her obsession with the blood stained knife.
I walked to her side, and sat on the floor,
Ignoring the knocking on her bedroom door.

I took hold of her wrist, bloody and cold,
And took her to the past, forgotten and old.
Her life flashed before us, freezing time,
And took us both back, to 1989.

A beautiful baby, with only her mother,
Desperately clutching on to one another.
Left together, in depression and doubt,
As her innocent eyes watched her father walk out.

The blood on her wrist, dripped on the floor.
As she remembered the pain of her family war.
Her knees bent down, silently screaming,
Scared and tortured by what she was seeing.

Time flashed once more, 10 years on.
Still with her mother, father still gone.
Trapped in between a man with control,
And a mother denying him bruising her soul.

The scene we are seeing, disturbing and sore,
As we watch him repeatedly slamming the door.
Pushing it harder, she's nowhere too be found,
Just lying, behind the door, not making a sound.

There's fear in her eyes, I let go of her hand,
She's collapsed on the floor, the girl can hardly stand.
4 years flash by, still scarred from the past,
She's 14 now, she looks happy at last.

But she got close to a girl, who broke her in two,
Left her alone, said their friendship was through.
She found trust in her, and it was ripped away,
Just life nothing she loved in her life would stay.

The girl by my side, was shattered and torn,
Let down and abandoned since the day she was born.
Her wrist still bleeding, she looked up to say
"I dont want to die, but theres no other way"

I looked at the girl, looked into her heart.
"No its not, from me you will never be apart.
I am your best friend, your angel forever.
whatever happens now, happens together."

I stroked her wrist, and stopped the bleeding.
"Nothing now will stop u succeeding"
I held her hand tight and rewound the years
"Nothing, at all, is worth your precious tears"
