Manslaughter
her house is a cellar
dillapitated
forgotten
deserted
prison
fifteen, a meloncholly age
no longer a girl
not yet a woman
completely helpless
tied to a statue
set in his ways
stationary
immobile
a familiar stranger
the saturday cartoons
are drowned by his rage
daddy, love me
im not invisible
daddy, love me
his bedroom littered
with surgical tube and syringes
sanguine stained sheets
commercials are his entertainment
daddy, love me
im not invisible
daddy, love me
he tortures himself
at her expense
the rain dries her tears
and cleanses her soul
daddy, love me
im not invisible
daddy, love me
mommy died and so have you
killing you
killing you
killing you
slowly
slightly
painfully
torturing
abolishing
any gram of hope
lovers for fourteen
a bond destroyed in four
her death
his wish for the same
his life abandoned in despair
he once spoiled her with gifts
now he spoils her with scorn
a tragic end for one
is now a tragic end for three
