A poem I wrote after the tradgic death of a cousin. sad
Walk Away
A young girl sits in her room
wondering what she had done.
She screamed as he hit her.
It seemed like she was the only one.
She felt so alone
with family all around.
She hid it deep inside
She did not want to frown.
She believed that he loved her
and that he did it because he cared.
He would never stop it.
Her heart was beginning to tear.
Everyone could see it
He was not good for her.
She didn't want to listen.
Fear controlled her.
Little did she know
the end would be near.
It came without warning
It is what they fear.
Her life is no more,
and the ties begin to fray.
It could have been different,
if she only walked away.
