daddy please stop

Hush little baby don’t say a word,

was all that came out of the little blackbird’

just another sad song to ease the pain,

of all that is around her and the lost youth she would never regain

‘ daddy please stop,’  is the song  in her head,

‘ mummy why don’t you believe me and all that i’ve said?’

Her young life now hopeless, her eyes tear stained,

 all the showers she takes will never wash away the pain,

 she takes cocaine to numb the hurt she can’t unchain,

 but when its dark the beast roams again,

‘ daddy please stop,’  is the song in her head,

‘ mummy why won’t you believe me and all that i’ve said?’

Her cries in vain,

 like Abel’s upon Cain,

 her wrists scarred with the attempts of suicide she could not attain,

 her mind is filled with hatered for it’s all that sustains her,

 all the nightmares she has she can never contain,

‘daddy please stop,’  is the song  in her head,

‘ mummy why don’t you believe me and all that i’ve said?’

Now she’s a grown woman, thinking all men are inhumane,

 her life ruined her clothes bloodstained,

 the monster in her mind she wishes him slain,

 a  far fetched achievement but in her mind, her favourite song remains

‘daddy please stop, i cant take it no more,’

‘ mommy why could you not stop him long ago?’
