Dad, you've been protecting me against abusive boyfriends since i turned twelve, why now are you doin what you swore to protect me against??

Bruises and blood cover my face...... shall i kill myself and finish the job you started?....

You promised you'd always be there for me, but now i'm sat in this empty house... without you by my side

Go ahead....rip my heart out...You know that i'll just stand by and let it happen...i'm just too weak

Sticks and Stones broke her bones, but it was the words that broke her heart

Please don't hit me daddy..

I'd given you another chance...I'd forgave you before and you threw that in my face...
How dare you come crawling back now.

I cower as you approach me dad, wishing that maybe, just once you'd hold me close, tell me you love me

I lay my head once again upon my damp pillow, ready to cry myself to sleep once again.

I close my eyes and all i see is your smiling face.
I block my ears only to hear you whisper that you love me once again.
I wake with tears on my pillow caused by my dreams of you
Why must you torment me so?
