A Child's Innocence

Late at night he came in
He silently closed the door
He silently climbed in her bed
She silently said stop
She quivered in fear
He quivered in desire
She screamed of pain
He screamed of pleasure
After he left
She would brokenly cry
Until she drifted to sleep

She didn't know
Who was doing this to her
Night always darken his face
She would not tell a soul
She would soon isolate herself
She would soon desolate her heart

Her sisters would ask
Her mom would beg
Her dad would worry

Years passed
The girl still didn't know
Who was raping her
But even so
She was still a child
A child who did not know happiness

But one night
In the process
A bolt of light
From the moon
Reflected his face
She saw the face of the monster
For the first time
A thief
Who had stolen her childhood
Who stole her innocence
She would open her lips
And I would say
"Daddy, what are you doing?"
