Lost Innocence

Written for my niece.

Scared

As you throw me

Down to the tile floor

Bruises showing on my arm

Your purple fingerprints

I cry

While your cigarette

Burns flesh from my bottom

I feel my skin searing

I grin

But I'm not really happy

When Ta-ta asks what's wrong

"It's Daddy's secret" I say

Reluctant to tell

But she keeps bugging me

I squirm

When I tell her that

"Daddy peed on me"

But Ta-ta knows it's not pee

Ta-ta cries

While I tell her

I didn't want to put

My mouth there

But he cut up my lion

And the El'fant

He said it was my turn next

If I ever told

But Ta-ta knows

And she told Nana

And Nana told the police

Ta-ta said

That you're in time-out

But I know better

You're in jail

Because you choked me
