Dirty hands creep up my side
they're taunting me
they're telling lies
Dirty hands that were meant for love
touch me lower
and touch me above
I cry of pain, I don't want to remember
For the memories, I will never surrender,
Filthy man
I hate that smell
you sat me on your lap
you put me straight to hell
Dirty hands, they wont stop stinging
I was too young
For the pain you were bringing
Dirty hands from the bottle to my back
Now tortured daily from this sexual attack
Dirty hands that owned the night
No one to save me, no help in sight
They'll never know, or even bother
That those dirty hands belonged to my father.

Expressive indeed my dear. Good job. Keep up the good work!

I do feel strange after reading this ; whilst it spoke of an unbearable topic, and such agonising pain and memories to go through, at the same time, it was done with a great dignity ; no hysterics, and no denial, but told very matter of factly, which, i think, just managed to make it even more hard hitting .... i'm sorry for what you went through

powerful write on this sensitive subject. the flow was great. i related to this a lot, although... he wasn't my father, he was my uncle :/ if this is true to you, i'm sorry, it's a terrible thing to endure & live with.
