Lies

No daddy I don't wish to play
as you begged me to roll over
and let you have you way
you made me wake from 
escape from reality
so again you could some how
smother the child inside of me

I beg to differ
you said nothing was wrong
thats why I get no sleep
all night long
The dark circles 
underneath my eyes
is because of my secret
and all your lies

All my life
you abused me
every night
you 'used' me
for your sick fantasy
what did I ever do 
to you daddy

try as I may
I don't have the might
for years I tried
to put up a fight
but nothing I did could stop you
there was nothing I could do

As I begged and pleaded 
every single night
I guess mommy never noticed
something wasn't right

But tell me that 
I didn't try
well thats one of your
under estimated
blown out lies
