Pleaded

unprotected in my own home
I beg to be loved 
as I am dying alone
every second of everyday
I'm falling apart
please Lord oh please
send someone to mend my heart

but my prayers go unanswered
and the abuse gets worse
everyday life is now
becoming a curse
this is my only escape
from reality
It's still dropping me
just as hard as gravity

its pretty bad when every
poem I rigtht
makes the child inside me
cry to sleep at night
begging and pleading 
to stop the pain
before the child within 
goes utterly insane

if I don't cry tonight
will you stop,
if I don't yell tonight
will the pain halt
if only for a second daddy
If only in my sleep
please daddy dont hurt me again
my bodys to weak

Mommy slept straight 
through the night again
no worries he said
it's just his little friend
but the pain was unending
the hurt was uncaring
no matter how hard I tried
I couldn't stop glaring
