the fear rushes

the fear rushes into her fragile body
as his hands
rip her frail lets open
she can already feel the pain

the ache fills her entire being
as her father abuses her,
uses her body to fulfill his lust
she already knows the routine

the pain fills her naive mind
as he tells her once more
to keep it all inside
she doesn't know he's using her
