Her breathing it did quicken
as the knife drew across her breasts.
A small trickle of blood followed
sliding down a quicking chest.
Her eyes couldn't close
held open but the worst contraption.
She couldn't control the quickening of her heart
or the fear that reached her eyes.
The man before her, her father owed
great sums of money he had to pay.
And so in attempt to quiet it down
and to acquire more money for his own grubby needs
sold off his daughter to the highest bidder
the beautiful girl a toy to any mans needs.
Soon through drugs and torture and pain
an addict to sex is what she became
scars reminded her of what she was to do
forced to pay of her fathers dues.
The man didn't visit nor did he care
his want for his money consumed his very air.
She became his break his ability to do as he wished
as long as she continued her job
to service any man.
But soon a man came to her bed
to call for her to wed
he paid a hefty sum for her
took her back to breed and wed.
Now under the roof of a horrible man
drinking wine to keep herself sane
she realized her life now different
and cheated on the very man who saved her.
Her secret betrayal she doused with wine
sent the money to the betraying father of hers
kept his debts at bay as usual
cutting her inner most thighs
she was able to keep from having children
Soon she would die
soon they'd find out her lies
but the damage was done
she was addicted to sex like a drug
because of her fathers own money needs
she was nothing more then a whore
dressed in expensive clothes and jewelery.
Once her lies showed through
realization of her addiction was shown
shamed by the man who called her his own
cast out by the man who paid for her clothes
shunned by the men who bedded her so
Finally the beautiful girl shamed to suicide
death coming quickly from her fathers money needs
and the mens wants of her in bed.
