_Daddy’s Darling_

She blew five candles
 On her cake, an angel In a pink dress, hair In little pigtails
Bound in pink ribbons

She was the apple
 Of her daddy’s eye, They had little Secrets and stories, Tiny,
tattles and tizzies

He tucked her into
 Bed every night Kissed her forehead As she slept, Lovingly fondled
Between her legs.

Bittie body bruised,
 Small soul soiled, Little heart hurt, Bambino bosom bled, 
Dainty dreams dead.

Little one is scared,
 It is all her fault Or so she is told, Daddy will not love
her If their playful Secret is let out.

She bleeds inside,
 Cannot play on the slide, Childhood denied, Crayons cast aside,
Daddy and demon coincide.

Terrified eyes open wide,
 Home colder than winter tide, Nightmares she cannot brush
aside, She has everything to hide, Who the hell is on her side?
