It was the night in her life of the blood red moon
Mama's out workin' the night shift 'til dawn
Her teenage daughter's left home all alone
Mama calls her Baby, but Mama don't know
What happens each night after she goes

It was the night in her life of the blood red moon
Baby's in the corner, cowering with fright
Praying to God, "Please spare me tonight"
When she hears the footsteps she knows for sure
Her prayers go unanswered just like before

It was the night in her life of the blood red moon
Mamas' "husband" walks through the door
Says, "Daddy's gonna' love you just like before"
Little girl-woman cries without tears
Like she's been cryin' for five long years

It was the night in her life of the blood red moon
He leaves Baby broken and badly abused
She feels so degraded, so dirty and used
What's wrong with Mama, why can't she see
What the man she calls "darling" is doing to me

It was the night in her life of the blood red moon
Today the girl-woman is taking control
He has her body, but not her mind or her soul
She knows her future, lies within her own hands
She's helping herself the only way that she can

It was the night in her life of the blood red moon
Mama's gone to work, "Daddy" comes callin'
In a path to her door, his footsteps are fallin'
Another night of hell is about to begin
He walks to her bed and slithers on in

It was the night in her life of the blood red moon
Baby's lyin' waitin' in a river of red
Deep slashes 'cross her wrist, sweet Baby is dead
Her little heart couldn't handle the hurt and the pain
Now "Daddy" won't hurt Baby ever again

to the heart, because it's the truth in too many lives.

YET SO TRUE THIS MAKES A MAN LIKE ME BLUE
THE PAIN DRIPS UPON MY SOUL ............WOW!

You are most definitely a great writer with this piece. It is soooo gripping, and had the ability to turn my stomach into a knotted bow!

This piece is definitely a sad one, and also has a lot of truth to it unfortunately for a lot of children & teens. You definitely released a 'stroke of genius' from your felt tip pen on this piece....


One Love

didn't mean to make ya blue...
but it kinda has that effect huh...too sad....

This is so sad. Children are suppose to be able to look for adults as protectors, not someone they need protection from. Sometimes mothers know and refuse to see the truth, as they sacrifice their children for the love of a man who steals their innocense, souls and lives at times. Life is difficult enough when we become adults, it's sad when children are not allowed to enjoy being a child, because of sick adults.
This was well written.

N2...thank you so much for your comments, they are much appreciated, and yes it is sad but also a fact of life, happenings such as these are close to my heart, and need to be talked about..even though they make us "feel"...I am so glad that many felt this one...

CCBSKYN..what you say is so true and I agree, the days of the innocence of childhood is gone..todays world does not allow it..thanx for the words..
