The girl is sitting behind the couch

Clutching her knees to her chest

the door was locked

but he still got in

he hurt her

kept her from getting away

but he left behind traces,

bruises,and scratches...

Finally having the courage to stand

she looked around,

her mother was lying on the floor,

dead...

the girl fell to her knees crying...

crying for her mother,

crying for herself,

crying for him,

Knowing he is lost and she is next

When he came the next night,

she goes to him willingly

accepting her death,

her hurt her

first beating her down

she was almost unconscious

when she whispered

"please kill me.., i accept my death

the man looked down at his daughter

she had one tear trickling down her cheek

sparkling in the moonlight
