Mommy where did she go?

Where did the little girl go with eyes full of dreams,
always smiled, she loved life and all its little ways.
She really loves her mommy with all her heart.
Where did she go?......You killed her mommy.
.....Slap....your drunken anger leaves her
with a red swollen face. She still loves you,
She says to herself in the dark of the night.

She cries out in pain as he forces himself inside.
No please mommy dont turn away! Don't you hear her cries?
Her smile slips, eyes dull, and lifeless life so ugly.
But yet she still loves her mommy. Mommy drinks more
and more, you hit her again she cries so you keep hitting
her to keep her quiet, Do you not see her pain mommy?
Look at her! She needs you!! Why wont you help her?!

Mommy stop her! No shes going to pull the tri...(Bam)
Why didn't you save her?! She loved you!!
