where is she
Wake up in the morning
She's gone
Look under the covers
she's not there
Open your eyes
Nope, not there either
Look for an open door
There are none
Check the bathroom
Sorry, try again
Search the house
Nothing
Where did she go?
She left long ago
You have just failed
To realize it
Open your eyes
To her reality
The endless abuse
Shouting matches (which you won)
The mental fear (which you instilled in her)
The spankings and beatings (that scarred her)
The sexual need (for which you used her)
Where is your daughter?
She left long ago
Only now
Has she run away
Physically
For good
Forever
