Sense Sonnet - Acher

Hate Fully

My ex-husband was a sick man.
A restraining order was not
Going to stop his deranged plan
To do what would hurt me a lot.
I told the cops I got a call.
He had our daughter by force,
And was going to end it all.
She begged, but he had no remorse.
All I could do was wait and pray
That she be found unharmed. Instead,
The cops visited me to say
That both of them had been found dead.

My little girl was only eight,
A victim of her father's hate.
