Raped On My Wedding Day
He was the only one to give me away
To the man of my dreams
I was filled with joy
Knowing I was still pure
And This was the day
To unveil my world
To My one
Man
My dad, a calm simple man
Full of love and life
worked in my dressing room
Asked everybody out
He wanted to bless me
I was eager
To receive each blessing
He cleared his throat
And told me
How much he loved me
How much I was beautiful
How much he was proud of me
And how much he wanted me
I was shocked
When my father said
I have waited for this day
To feel every inch of you
I screamed
He held me strong
Undressed me
And...
I was so appalled
As I fought so hard
He pushed hard
Blood splashed out
Into a great flow
My dad raped me
I couldn't breath well
I tried and relaxed
He was done
I was in deep tears
Full of hatred and agony
He said to me
I am sorry
Your my beloved daughter
I am sorry
I was so mad
And confused
Who to tell
Mom came in
And found me in tears
She whispered to me
Be strong
Be bold
You will make it
Dad added
Yes you will make it
Just keep our secret
Or you will die
Dad walked me to the church
I made my vows
And
Started all a flesh
Mom has never known
My husband too
I am pregnant
With
Dad's kid
Inspired by a true story from a friend
