Alas for the ravaged girl, pallid and time-torn;<\/p>\n
Bewitched by some brutish beast; how long should she mourn?<\/p>\n
In some nocturnal blackness; enwrought some careless dream<\/p>\n
Unbeknownst; whose weight has discounted smile from her mien.<\/p>\n
Poor creature! A bedraggled fool,<\/p>\n
Bled for louts, now feasting on you-<\/p>\n
Why now lament your own child\u2019s theft,<\/p>\n
For them to tell you, your childhood years\u2019 still left.<\/p>\n
Soon, the deserts grew more deserted, no traveler left,<\/p>\n
The brooks\u2019 thawed, birds silenced, all hopes bereft\u2014<\/p>\n
You bended to your God, hoping for some hope;<\/p>\n
Pity such piety; where impotence is the heroic trope.<\/p>\n
Why then, you embroider rugs around the wounds<\/p>\n
Only to allow them to kill you again?<\/p>\n
I reckon, the reason must be painful to explain.<\/p>\n
How do you pardon those who<\/p>\n
Bit your pretty heart in two<\/p>\n
How old were you, when you buried you,<\/p>\n
How old were you, when you bid joy adieu?<\/p>\n
Halt the marching time; there\u2019s something I hear,<\/p>\n
In this lone hour of despair<\/p>\n
Or is it tender you,<\/p>\n
Still awaiting them to judge fair.<\/p>\n
