Daddy Why
.
He would walk into my room
Every night
I was drowning beyond tears
I was too weak to resist
Too tired to scream
Out into the darkness that held me captive
His hands would scarf my neck like starving cobras
My his alcohol_laced breath would slap my face
As one hand sped down my thighs
And tore away my dress
His knee would clap my thighs open
Then he bent me over
And slammed into me
Emptying his thirst and anger inside me
Hand pressing my neck into the pillow
My hands lifelessly holding onto the sheets
Pain eating through my innocence
Belt buckled
Blood painting shame all over my thighs
His death threats singing me goodnight
I look up to the skies
Wishing I could join mama up beyond that ashen silver moon
I hated myself
I hated the stars for just watching
I staggered to the balcony
Bloodtrail staining the tiles
I closed my eyes
And decided to take a journey
To look for dear mother
I left a note
Two words
And a signature of blood and tears
