she was to pretty to be pure

daddy said "you're so pretty"
daddy said "come over here"
he softly kissed her on the cheek
and then daddy...
every day was much the same
the pain, the shame
the endless blame
she was too pretty
it was all her fault
she was too pretty
to be pure
how many years
since it began
how many years
left ahead
her tears so automatic
as his bulk sank onto her bed
only sixteen
but old inside
her eyes like dusty windows
that looked out across sunless hell
bloody handprints
streaked across the grime
as if someone had been....
every day was much the same
the pain, the shame
the endless blame
she was too pretty
it was all her fault
she was too pretty
to be pure
daddy:
too long
too much
every night:
too long
too much
so long
her fault for being pretty
her fault for being weak
all her fault
all...
it stung
it burned
but it felt so good
the knife slashing her face
blood fell to her breast
the promise of scars
not pretty anymore
daddy won't want her anymore
cut after cut
the taste of blood and tears
laughing as her tears watered
the innocence he'd killed
not pretty anymore

Wow. Excellent portrayal from an unexpected perspective. And I never expected the twist at the end. All in all, very nice.
Just one problem: yes, I know I'm being grammar-obsessive here, but for some reason, the 'to' in the title, where it should've been 'TOO pretty' kinda threw it off a little for me. BUt then, it's prob'ly just me. |

this was really good and very emotional and heart-rending. I really enjoyed the 'eyes like dusty windows' part put some wierd imagery in my head.
