Little Girl On Bended Knees

She’s a little girl abused in so many ways. She knows for everything theirs a price she pays. She doesn’t go where other children play. So much lost. So much at cost. She’s berried with in her pleas. Clothing tore to all degrees. She runs to the church knowing everything he sees. Maybe he can set her free. Little girl on bended knees. She can’t wash his smell away. No matter how much she bathes. Do you really have to love daddy this way. Day by day she prays. So many memories will prey. She wishes they would just fade away. In the bushes she hides. Daddy is dead inside. To god she will confide. “God who will believe me? Who will see? Mom always said it was just me. Now she has to see.” Little girl on bended knees. Her life is so hard in part. Yet not compared to what she sacrifices in her heart. He slices it up and rips it apart. She wants to point blame But lowers her head in shame. God taking over this little soles hope And his heart is breaking. There is so much she is staking. She raises her bloody hands high. Deep down she wishes she could die. But she made daddy finally say goodbye. Six years old murdering daddy to finally be free. Little girl on bended knees.
