As the infant turned to a child
the Angel wondered more than once
why
Feeling helpless the Angel watched from above as her destiny began to unfold
A woman selling herself to feed the demon within and for the needle that demon would make her scream
Not out of love or even lust one night the seed was planted
The Devil laughed as the Lord sighed, and the Angel simply hung his head and cried
For the next several years he watched amazed as the child survived
As the beatings grew worse and the world turned a blind eye
He knew that it wouldn't forever be this way
yet the waiting for her time to come was taking a toll
The little one never did know what she did that was so wrong
she would often try to make herself disappear
not make a sound
yet it never seemed to work for sure as the sun would rise and fall
she would be beaten and passed around to those who wanted to touch
by the age of eight she still didn't know why love had to hurt so much
He stayed by her side whenever she slept
hoping she could feel his presence wishing she could feel the sweet kisses he left on her face
the touch of innocence
The Angel had long ago been forbidden to interfere but his resolve was severely shaken when the little girl looked up to the sky, squared her shoulders, wiped the tears from her eyes and said
All I want to know is why
He had given her the only gift he was capable of and as he tried to make her pain his own he wondered if it would be enough
