Daughter To Father
They threatened to rape me
I wish you were there
They wanted to kill me
Why weren't you there
I needed protection
I tried to ignore
I needed your affection
They pushed me to the floor
I cut so deep
So many pills I took
I still weep
At my wrist don't look
All of this I hide
Where are you now
The blood hasn't dried
I cut just now
I need you
Where is my father
Days left I have few
This is your daughter
