Raped...a fathers betrayal

**This is dedicated to my best friend, who’s father molested her for years. Let her finally be at peace. And thanks to EVERYONE or anyone who reads her story**

A young girl sits and cries
In the middle of the night
Knowing she has no one to trust
This feeling isn’t right

Her father knocks on her door
Mommy isn’t home
Her sister isn’t there either
She is left alone

“Baby unlock the door
Darlin’ It’s only me”
She craws back in a corner
“Please just leave me be”

She wants to cry again
But knows she must be strong
A girl so young should never know this
About her father being wrong

Daddy gets a key
That he’s hidden somewhere good
A fear washes over this child
One that never should

She tries to be invisible
But knows that it won’t ever be
She wants to be real strong
And cry out- “Daddy let me free,”

He finds her in her hiding spot
And now he’s getting mad
The little girl’s lost all her hope
Realization stings so bad

He scoops her up into his arms
And she starts again to cry
“If I knew this would have happened
I would have rather died”

He whispers in her ears
As her throws her down
“Baby you are mine for taking”
And then he rips her gown

A young girl should never feel this
The betrayal of someone she loved
She should never have to wish
That someone would send him up above

Finally the night begins to end
And she’s aloud to rest
She has school in the morning
She never got to study for her test

She hid this secret
For one too many years
I should’ve been there for her
Helped her with her tears

I as her best friend
I guess I shoulda knew
He deserves to rot in hell
For what he’s put her through

He sent her a letter the other day
To tell her he was fine
And I’m not sure if I would be ok
If that letter had been mine

She tries again to smile
Because she knows that he was wrong
And now that he’s in jail
She doesn’t have to fake being strong

She calls me once a week
To tell me about her days
And how she’s finally happy
In many different ways

She had trouble trusting guys
For the last 5 or so years
Because a fathers betrayal to her
Has made her shed too many tears

And I still don’t understand
My only questions why?
A girl should never feel this
Should never have to cry

The betrayal of a fathers trust
Will never begin to heal
Cause every time that girl thinks of him
She can’t describe what she feels

More power to people who deal with this
A secret they may have buried deep
Please don’t let it be a secret anymore
And let your burden finally sleep
