Take Back the Nights

Take back the nights that you stoled from me. You forced me to do things that I never wanted to do. They haunt me all the time. The terror I endure when I walk outside, I worry that you will find me and be waiting to hurt me yet again. I will never forgive you for what you have done to me. I am your daughter not your wife you have no right to violate me the way you have. When any one talks about rape or molestation I break down and cry. It has been almost four years now daddy yet what you did to me still lingers in the back of my mind. I do my best not to think of it but trust me I will never forget it. No matter how many times you apologize when you actually can have contact with me I will not forgive you. By blood you are my father but by law and by me you are nothing to me. I refuse to claim you as my father. For my father would not have forced me to do those kinds of things. Take back the nights that you ruined my life.
