A Daddy So Bad

laying in bed footsteps she hears
is he coming to her this she fears
mommy doesn't know she can't tell
all she know's she lives in hell

she prays to god he doesn't come in
asking god why he allows him to sin
standing at the door his hand on the knob
pulling up the covers she starts to sob

calling her his princes his little girl
smelling his breath her head starts to swirl
she wants to get out to just run away
just so he wouldn't touch her another day

Wow. I can't stand the idea of this, it's absolutely horrifying. And not that I would know but you seem to have captured it perfectly.
