There she sits, alone in her head

Wondering why he comes to her bed

Was it maybe something she did

Or maybe something she said

All she longs for is a loving father

All she wants is to be his daughter

To be his pretty little princess

Dreaming of her happy ever after

But she lives in the dragon’s lair

It all started when he touched her there

It wasn’t just way beyond wrong

It was worse than a fucking nightmare!!!

She has to be brave to protect her sisters

She prays to God till her knees have blisters

While the hole inside her heart grows

And becomes hollow and festers

He took her innocence, but not her soul

And now she has herself another goal

She wants to teach him a lesson

Maybe teach him some self control

She’s got his gun, she saw him hide it

She can’t take anymore of this shit

He’s lifeless, passed out on the couch

He reeks of whiskey, he was really lit

She wanted love and got pain instead

Her anger dancing, she puts it to his head

She holds her breath and thinks to herself

Just one squeeze and he’d be dead.

She calls him “Daddy”, her protector

No one knows he’s a child molester

She can’t do it, it’s just too much

It can’t be quick, he has to suffer

Image created by Author

He can take her body, but not her heart

She’s much too strong to fall apart

For where her pain ends

New memories will start.
