How Could You?

How could you beat me?
I was just a kid.
I tried to be good,
To avoid getting hit.

For many years,
You had your way.
There was nothing to do,
But hope to be saved.

But no one was here,
I was by myself.
I cried every night,
And prayed for some help.

How could you do this?
I was just a child.
I never knew wrong,
So I just smiled.
