Little Girl (Free verse) by Pervy Elf

Go ahead, Little girl Cut yourself again. Watch your life fade away Until the pain is gone. You don't know how to feel anymore, do you? Go ahead, Little girl Cry once more. Only at night, where none can see- None can see you hurt. The tear stains are hidden then. Hidden, like your heart. Go ahead, Little girl Take one last look before He leaves. "It's better this way," He says. Belive Him, one more time. This is how it should be. Go ahead, Little girl Keep yourself shut away from everyone. Shut away safe, from Him. "This is wrong," you say. "I never wanted things to be this way." Go ahead, Little girl Blame everyone but yourself. You were too careless. Too much trust, too much faith. You cared too deeply. Now look at you. Go ahead, Little girl Cut yourself again. Maybe then He'll see the scars. Maybe then He'll see the hurt. And understand- You're just a scared litlle girl, With none left to turn to.
