Sarah's Last
Words
My name is Sarah
I am but three
My eyes are swollen
I can not see
I must be stupid
I must be bad
What else would make
My daddy so mad
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me
I can't speak at all
I can't do no wrong
Or I'm locked up
All the day long
When I awake
I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home
When my mommy does come
I try and be nice
So maybe I'll get
Just one whipping tonight
Don't make a sound
I just heard a car
Daddy's back
From Charlie's Bar
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the walls
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid and
I start to cry
He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words
He says it's my fault
He suffers at work
He slaps me and hits me
And shouts at me more
I finally get free
And run for the door
He's already locked it
I start to bawl
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall
I fall to the floor
With bones nearly broken
My daddy continues
With more bad words spoken
I'm sorry I scream
But now it's too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate
The hurt the pain
Again and again
Oh god have mercy
Oh please let it end
He finally stops
And heads for the door
I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor
My name is Sarah
I am but three
Today my daddy
Murdered me
why weren't you there when i needed you?
you said you'd always be there for me!
and where were you when my brother died?
oh, that's right, i forgot, you
had to go to the Celtics game!
when my mother died, where were you to comfort me?
how could you?
how could you put me through all this pain?
i thought we were actually getting closer, but now i know,
we're getting farther apart.
