I PRAY

By PENNY ANNE FAIRMAN

I weep because you're gone
I pray that it never happens again
This sad loneliness you had to face
Tears not of joy but of pain
Of losing hope, brought down
By a force of mankind; abuse

I tremble in thoughts of this
Of losing someone dear
Because a man didn't care
Instead they beat her down
With words worse than spears
She was forced to face alone
Because fear made her sway
Losing hope of a better day

I hope her child does not witness
This insanity of her choice
I hope they finally take action
Long before this ever happens

Maybe even if I glimpse this myself
So that I may help her even if not much at all
Because she is a friend so dear
I pray she doesn't become the statistic...
