Opalescent tears
carve furrows,
Skin of finest china
bleeding at the touch
Tainted memories
jaded dreams,
Spider coated flesh
crawls at the sensation
Mind screaming
NO DADDY!!!
I can't take anymore!
Demons shred the words
All that is left,
Fear and guilt,
Lost in a vast empty world
Numb

Thank you for your entry
This one is all to personal for me. I was that little girl screaming 'Daddy No MORE' but never did my screams get heard.
Good luck, I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless

fear and guilt...
You have done a great job of describing the fear and guilt of the victims of this all too common crime! The tainted memories and jaded dreams are a life sentence. Excellent work!
