Little Girls Aren't Made As Toys

By Empathy

My heart is frozen Daddy
I apologize
When I dream, I see you bashed and broken
I see through your perverted lies

Little girls aren't made as toys
But you picked me up and threw me away
I was good daddy, I didn't make a noise
But I cried when I lived to see another day

Now I sit and stare
I like to cut myself 'til I'm numb
I'm awake but still not there
I search for my senses and find none

I'm all dried up inside daddy
Am I still your number one?
Maybe If I didn't put up a fight
You wouldn't have had so much fun

When I dream, I see you with severed hands
Each dream cripples you differently
You're a sorry excuse for a man daddy
I wish you never created me

How does it feel daddy
to sit inside your filth
If childhood is all you can steal
Then I hope you choke on your guilt

It won't stop with me daddy
At night I walk inside your head
I see you slip into her innocent sleep
You tell her, "Daddy's scared", just like you always said

Stop this endless corruption
Or she'll turn out worse than me
With each generation comes new destruction
Damn it daddy, don't make her bleed

How many more babies have to slit their wrists
'til you see your disease
It's between you and me, don't bring her into this
I swear I'll save her from your perverted needs

You always said you get what you give
Why aren't you bruised and raped like the rest of us?
Knowing you're out there makes me crawl inside my skin
It's your turn to take it without a fuss

I lie awake at night
tossing and turning above your corpse
I mutilated you but something's still not right
Torturing you isn't enough, there's gotta be more

Six feet under is too good for you
So I keep your body under my bed
There's so much more mutiny to do
'Cause you're amputated and raw, but not dead

When I rid of this loathing, then I'll quit
But that time is no where near yet
So until then, this one's for the kids
You sick son of a bitch

    'If childhood is all you can steal Then I hope you choke on your guilt". . that line was really great, the meaning behind this is devasting. . i know it well, but not completely. . either way, this was very nicely written
