Secret Games

Within the shadows

skittering through dreams

a little girl

has to play dead.

Wondering 

if another will come

or 

was her daddy the last one?

Men 

abused 

debased

harmed 

broke her tiny soul

with smiles on their faces

blackness in their souls.

She wished them dead

gone

murdered

sliced apart.

No recourse came her way

dreams 

all she had

to sustain.

These men

secretive of their special club

knew 

should the girl ever escape

death

would become

a thunderous roar

hell

a reality

they would have to face.
