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 _daddy.why_ Elliepoet™
