Acid Tears

Lurking deep in my darkest fears
A monster weeping acid tears
The uncle coming to my bedroom door
Calling me his little whore
I hate myself wish I was dead
As he spurts his vileness in my head

Mine is a lost and tortured soul
Never again will I be whole
Childhood killed at the age of ten
Never to return again
And on and on though teenage life
A living hell of fear and strife

On my birthday now eleven
He says I’ll show you the gates of heaven
He lies on top my legs spread wide
He pushes himself so deep inside
With pain and shame I’m overcome
Can’t even cry I feel so numb

Spirit broken,innocence destroyed
And every abusers trick employed
I’m kept compliant remaining silent
He tells me of things so evil, violent
That he’ll do to all my family
And my little brother only three

Oh god in heaven if god there be
Please take my life and set me free
Hold me in your loving keep
In the oblivion of eternal sleep
At fifteen I find strength to fight
And when he comes I scream that night

Parents come what’s going on?
Uncle mumbles then is gone
Moves from our house that very day
Dad won’t hear what I have to say
Won’t hear your lies me or your mother
A good man your uncle, my only brother

It’s all your fault I hear them say
And now you’ve driven him away
With poisonous fairy tales and lies
Now I’m the one they all despise
I’m silenced now an empty shell
Who will listen? Who can I tell?
