Daughter To Father

They threatened to rape me I wish you were there They wanted to kill me Why weren't you there I needed protection I tried to ignore I needed your affection They pushed me to the floor I cut so deep So many pills I took I still weep At my wrist don't look All of this I hide Where are you now The blood hasn't dried I cut just now I need you Where is my father Days left I have few This is your daughter *Written on May 5, 2012*

This is a sad one. it makes me wonder if it is addressing the physical father or the spiritual one in heaven. I hope it's just fiction!
