My Broken Little Angel


Once i saw a little guy

He had bags beneath his eyes

And the little girl with him

Look like she was gunna cry

And it made me wonder what was wrong

So i sat there and finish up my lunch

And i sat there and i wached

There was a man with a beard

And a stern look on his face

His words were harsh

But unheard

I could feel the darkness seeping around them

His tone was damp

As he sat at that table

I wached him

He was livid

And his kids were afrid of him

He turned to the little girl

He got so close to her face

Grabbed her sholders

And growled something inaudiboe at her


That was strike one


He told motiond her tward the bathroom

Such a small gem

Walking herself away

And then he turned to the little boy

He moved next time him

Grabbed his face

He was growled at too

But with more force

Anger running deep through the air

And that beast of a man moved back to the other side


I almost wished that little girl would have been abducted

So at least she could ascape from this


But she returned with obedience

A fear in her eyes

She clambored into the seat beside the man

He carelessly tosed a napkin into her food and laughed...

She sunk into her place

Then he snapped his eyes to that little angel of a boy

Grumbles something

And i saw the tears well up


Strike two


That little boy held it together

And he looked around the room

He looked at me

At my eyes

And i knew what that man was doing

That little angel looked into me

And all i could see was


"help me

please

im scared

and im alone

and i need a hand

please

take me away from this place

from my fears

so i can cry

i want to be a kid

not a slave

i dont want to be afraid anymore..."


He looked away


And the worst thing is


I couldnt do a thing to help that little sweetie


I walked out of the resturant

Holding my tears

Because i knew

That little boy had to go home

And he had to face what ever kind of deamon that man was...


I can only wish to be that brave...
