LAST BREATH
All she wanted was to be loved.
Instead she was abused, beaten, pushed and shoved.
If she talked or moved they would pull her hair.
Sometimes they would lock her in the closet for days and leave her there.
One day she asked for just a bit of food.
But her father was in such a bad mood.
He punched her in the back of the head.
He hit her until she bled.
He shouted at her, "this will teach you not to complain!"
But the four year old was in so much pain.
Bleeding, she layed there on the floor clenching her "lucky" dime.
Then she took her las breath and whispered, "Im sorry daddy" as she closed her eyes for the final time.
