• Reflection

    A reflection in the glass imparts upon her specs of past
    Tearing up her soul inside, leaving a hole so vast
    The tear drops felt upon the skin leave her shivering with cold
    At last warmth envelopes her as the mind starts to unfold

    Memories of painful times flashing through her brain
    Rocking her entire body like an unrestricted pain
    The father that she once knew who abused his only right
    She lay upon the bed so he could take her every night
    As protector of her body and soul she did not understand
    Why did father pick her to be his desecrated land

    But nightmares are not forever, each and every has an end
    Sixteen years too late to change, to help her wounds to mend
    A frail package she is now empty to the core
    Raging inside her body is a continental war

    Emotions, anger, depression, fury, building in her chest
    Moving through her very soul, she is now possessed
    Attack the mind to make some sense of what all she must do
    She must bring back to him the pain he wrought from his strange taboo

    Lightning strikes, the shadows move, the kitchen window glares
    A silent form moves through the house wholly unawares
    On the couch her forsaken father sits laconically on his throne
    His mind is no longer with him it’s strewn about his home
