A Little Girl Cries

A little girl cries

She lays broken

Beaten, bloody

Forgotten

Her red hair spilled on the cold ground

Her green eyes have no life

Her body, cold and exposed.

Her name: Shenko, Valina.

A little girl cries

She lays broken

Beaten, bloody

Forgotten

Why, she asked herself

Why did they hurt her?!

It's not her fault her master chose her!

She was only being faithful to him

It feels as if he's deaf to her pain

A little girl cries

She lays broken

Beaten, bloody

Forgotten

NO!

She must stop crying!

She must get up and face the world today.

She must not become the victim!

She is his Chosen One, after all!

They will pay

All in due time!

A little girl cries

Only she's not a little girl anymore.

She's a woman now

She cries harder than ever now

She lays broken

Beaten, bloody

Forgotten

All those years

Her tormentors were right—

She's nothing to no one.

Her master never loved her

He KILLED her.

He killed her and let his demon monkey son live.

A little girl cries

The woman dies


Valina's past has always been of concern to me. If's as if no one really loved the poor girl. I maintain suspicions that the true reason she left the Skeletal Circle was on the account of abuse. (I also suspect she may have been the vitcim of rape deep within the Circle) Theoris aside, I just felt depressed and channeled all my thoughts into this poem.
