Daddy's Girl
Daddy’s Girl
Our lives once burned bright as day,
Our souls so tightly clung.
But love like smoke all blew away,
We were so very young.
Lost in a fog of innocence
Blind to tomorrow’s snare.
Tender void of all defense
We walked without a care.
His shadow dark and creeping,
Her past a secret shame.
Unheard; her silent weeping,
His deed deserves no name.
Her father’s lying hands
His filthy hidden lust
His sin’s cruel demands
devoured all her trust.
From far below the dead arose,
It’s mouth a vacuum wide.
My wife who never chose
The pain she now bares inside,
Knew things I could not bare
And I a fool that never knew
Could never hope to share
All the hurt he did to you.
He died not too long ago
With him all of our tomorrows
Because of things I did not know
All your wretched bleeding sorrows.
A sleeping snake soon uncoiled
Around your heart to curl
From memory so vile and soiled
He came back for Daddy’s girl.
