Sharp silver slices her arm
burgundy tear drops drip
to give her silent release.

bracelet scars remain a reminder
of bent knee abuse.

"our secret" whispered
as hot breath echoes his force.

cuts numb to edit membrane film
which cannot be erased.

a sharp silver blade engraves my arm
burgundy tears drip.

Daddy's whispers echo today a secret
I didn't understand why he stripped me ugly naked

bracelet scars of bent knee abuse
the cuts numb to edit but cannot be erased.

pull me out of the past, I'm an insane
daddy's little girl; "is he all that I could be?"
