Hope He’s Caught

Warning: Graphic subject matter.

What I wouldn't give

   to live

      to forgive

Who I wouldn't plea

   to see

      to be free

Had my whole life ahead

   now I dread

      I am dead

What he took away

   I decay

      turn to clay

What from me he stole

  my soul

      in a hole

          no parole

               took it's toll

Just a little girl

  Daddy's pearl

      watch me whirl

          life unfurl

Took me out of the park

   was so dark

      found his mark

Called til my throat was sore

   through a door

      hope no more

Prayed to a silent god

   he's a fraud

       thought it odd

Pled him to spare my life

   no more strife

      under his knife

He wouldn't set me free

   heard me plea

      broke my knee

Hands touched me everywhere

   pulled my hair

      didnt care

           felt him tear

               way down there

Screamed mommy please come soon

   saw the moon

      knew my doom

          darkest room

Never felt so much pain

   until then

      again and again

Finally he was done

   had his fun

      maybe I won

          now I am none

Left in this hole to rot

   how I fought

      escape I thought

          alas naught

              hope he's caught.
