To My Daughter's Abuser
I held my daughter tonight while she screamed for what seemed like eternity...
while she relived the torture you put her through.
I held her... I cried with her...
but I can't take away her pain... her hurts.
My daughter, she's only 7.
She grew up before her time.
Her "Mommy" committed the crime.
Her innocence stolen on that night.
Didn't you hear her cry out in fright?
Children should live in a fantasy land-
Not fearing their Momma's hand.
She should've been taught to love and trust-...
Not used to satisfy someone's lust.
You broke her spirit, shredded her soul-
Shattered pieces, no longer whole.
I lay here tonight and listen to her cry-
At times yelling she wants to die.
She's learned to hate, she hides in shame
And there's only YOU that I blame.
