Twenty Year Fear

She awoke from her restless sleep.
Today she will face a twenty year fear..
She called upon all her inner strength..
She knew this HAD to be done..
She had to face him one on one..
The element of surprise..
the look on his face..
Was her only weapon
as she stepped into his place..
She looked him right in the yes..
the window to his soul..
She knew that he had not changed..
but the girl inside her wished it so..
She wished him mental health..
She wished he knew what kind of hell
he put her through so long ago..
But to him it didn't matter
he only wanted her to go..
She felt a heavy sorrow for him them..
She herself feeling sad.
After all at one time. she use call him Dad.
Times change..
You cannot go back..
She only wanted a daddy..
but he left her bleeding on the floor..
She was so young.. yet so old..
Lying there in the cold..
Daddy sure taught her a lot..
Pleasure always comes with pain..
Never really trust again..
The girl grew up..
she broke out of her prison..
She faces him and tells him..
You should have killed me
way back then..
Perhaps you didn't think
I the strength to win..
So now she tells her story..
and the things he did..
Read them and pray for you immortal soul..
I will ask God to forgive you
Perhaps to begin again..
but I wouldn't count on heaven..
letting either of us in...
