tears fell onto the creased canvas of her
daddy's face, she watched him break as her
lips weaved a sinner's tragedy made of rotting
flesh and bloodied souls, breaking her daddy
even more with each quiet breath she took.

her golden-eyes fell down to her destructive
hands, the ones that teared apart at her
daddy's chest, puncturing the skins that held
him, his pain in hues of scarlet poured out as
he cried the first she ever say, her claws
ruthlessly ripping out his already bent and
tattered heart; with nothing but the vile words
that fell from her honeyed tongue.

how does it feel? his hollow red eyes sobbed,
her fingers wrapped around his frail heart
unwillingly, her words falling mute to her ears
while everyone else - including her daddy - 
heard the broken whispers of the girl whose
daddy failed to protect from the heartless
monsters who hid behind human skin.

how does it feel to have no one believe your
truth? the flesh-skinned monster smiled from
his throne, triumphed; the knife dug into her
bare back twisted deeper with every life of his
believed, carving a grotesque painting out of
her ruby blood, the same color that taints her
soul.

how could they not believe him? she screams in
agony at the iron blade cutting away at her
existence, delirious. her monster's eyes were
brown, his wrinkled flesh light, a flavor so
utterly worshipped by prejudice.

she catches the eyes of the souls who hold
her fate - along with countless future little
girls - in the palms of their hands and she sees
doubt; pity.

their ears slammed shut, cursing the wicked
broken girl of spreading her lies, ruining the
innocent. he ruined me, why can't anyone see it?
she screams, her throat raw and bloodied, her
voice wasted; no one seemed to hear her cries.

then, with a bang that echoed the courtroom,
justice has been declared and she holds her
breath as she became:

the
girl
who
cried
rape.

the monster smiles. i win, he mouths.

(and she dies for the second time)
