child neglect
Horror
Her eyes, they speak to me
such terrors they behold
forsaken
unimaginable crimes
just a child
alone in the basement

torture
by her own flesh and blood
deprived food and water
brother and sister too

defeated
she watches--
one by one
they die—beaten and starved

becoming
not her, her will still lives.
waits for them..
with their belts and chains

devouring
after years of neglect
a killer born of its spawn
their blood spattered the walls

laughing
never was innocent
still a child
look out world.
