Every time I look at my reflection

I see a girl, so fragile and weak

They say she’s too old to hide

Yet too young to speak

Her lips are forced shut,

Covered by a hand too big to be hers

Her eyes are crying

Wanting to be heard

Her feet are chained to the side of the bed

Unwelcome sound and images

Echoing through her head

Her hands are tied

Behind her back

Her screams fell silent

As her body became limp, slack

The hands on her lips,

Fell on the man’s side

The man was he father

Who watched her as she died

The last image in the girl’s mind

Wasn’t of her father, caring and sweet

It was of a man

She never wanted to meet
