Daddy

Daddy, why did you hurt me so very long ago? I still remember the day you wouldn't let me go I know it happened more than once, but it is done When you tried it again, I wasn't old enough to run The hurt goes on Daddy, through all the years of my life You don't know how hard it is sometimes to be alive! Just looking at father's day cards brings me tears And Mommy does she know what you did How do you find a card that isn't full of glory? To send to someone who never said he was sorry Daddy, you don't know the pain you,ve made in me When you raped me that day, I was no longer free Free to be a child- to be like other girls and boys I'll never be the same as I was that day, the day you took my virginity away I'll never understand why you did that to me I was "Daddy's little girl" don't you see? I never dreamed that you could hurt me so I thought you loved me, didn't you know many years have come and gone so fast I know I'm not supposed to be living in the past but daddy, the hurt you caused me will never be past not until the breath in me is the last I guess God really wanted me to do his will Daddy, please daddy, you never said you're sorry for the crime you did! I'll try to go on, a survivor I'll be; by giving my love to my children warning them protecting them and their children teaching them where it is wrong to be touched even by someone you love so very much why did you hurt me so? did you have it planned? or was it something done to you in your past that triggered your feelings for me at the last daddy, I hope one day that you see how much you hurt me and then say, please forgive me but until that day, I guess I'll go on_ _ _ writing things like this one after one hoping a little comfort I'll give someone hurting just really trying to live someone trying to heal the hurt, Like Me
