My little secret isn't so secret,
I ran away from the house unable to keep it.
The police, they watched as I cried,
And in the morning they told me my daddy had died.
My secret stopped being a secret,
The day that I was no longer able to keep it.
My pain had gotten to be to much,
I couldn't survive even one more touch.
From five to fourteen he had always seen to it,
That my secret was kept a secret.
"She'll never believe, you she'll hate you"
Tauntes and promises that she'd leave you.
My secret stayed a secret until that moment,
For fear of pain and abandonment.
Secrets hurt, they tear away,
And even though thier gone the pain still stays.
My secret took my innocence,
And left me drowning in it's absense.
Five to fourteen He preyed,
Upon a child's love and fears,
I'll never forget they words he would say,
As he enjoyed my pain and tears.

This is one I can totally relate to. It was my brothers and not dad but the pain is oh so real. I am glad writing has been a sort of therapy for you. It has been mine too. This was a very powerful and emotional write. My heart goes out to you.

lovely
Beautiful deep expression, this is a stunning piece that has a good ryhme flow. Such deep emotion has been reflected thoroughly and quite well through the journey of the poem. Techniques incorporated such as the use of repetiton is so important and significant in a poem with this kind of touch. I feel great sympathy for you. Great work fellow poet.
