A child's plea
DON'T FORGET ME, MOMMY Open in new Window. (13+)
A child's plea
#1136514 by SHERRI GIBSON Author IconMail Icon

I wanted to phone you mommy, but he wouldn’t permit it
I pleaded for release, but he said to forget it
I wept for you mommy, because it broke my heart
The way he ravaged me tore me apart
Don’t forget me mommy

I promised to do what he asked if he’d let me go
The bruises upon my body prove that it’s so
I even attempted to flee from him several times,
But I was recaptured and he took what was mine
Don’t forget me mommy

Forgive me mommy, for I prayed for death each day
I just couldn’t endure the torture inflicted this way
I love you so much mommy, want to be with you again,
But I’m in a predicament where I can’t possibly win
Don’t forget me mommy

When I spoke of you and daddy, the man began to curse
Warned me if I persisted, things would get much worse
I’m frightened, so frightened mommy, I hope to see you soon,
To tell you and daddy what he does to me in that room
Don’t forget me mommy

After endless rapes and beatings I heard the angel call
Her soft voice assured me that I’d finally been freed once and for all
Don’t cry for me mommy, for now I feel no pain
I’ll be in God’s loving hands until we meet again
Don’t forget me mommy
