A Father's Daughter

from Roy by Mike Roy

lyrics

...

Well she left that night, to the slamming sound, the doorjamb pounding against the screen, smashing up the silence
Sliding through the grass she slipped her way through the old town and out to the highway
She walked a bit 'til through fog lights gleamed and though her teary eyes could hardly see
She caught that ride so quick, her nightgown stuck to her sweaty sides, hiked up a bit showing some knee

"I Hate" she screamed inside her head, which like her heart was now pounding
Still soaked from her daddy's sweat from under an hour ago when he came to show he loved her
She laid there still after he left, trying not to breathe as he walked down the hallway
In a bloody blur she grabbed some cash out of her dresser drawer and ran down through the house

"Howdy miss" the driver said as he pulled up and through the window he could see that she'd been crying
"How old are you" "Sixteen"she said as she was sliding into the seat beside him
She tried to wipe the tears out of her eyes and sit still and stop her shaking
"I'm not from around here," he said "I'm just passing through this town"
All she managed to cry out was "Please take me!"

Her dizziness reflected by passing lights and shadows were diffracting in the moisture
She strained so hard to simply block it out this time as she has done all of the times before
Still remembering the first clear as day, and all that had been shattered
She reeled inside there in the night, she sat cold and wet with her fists clenched white under her thighs

After an hour or so the driver cleared his throat to speak but he just peeked at her in the mirror
Semen's smell swimming in the air her breathed, he saw her nipples strain piercing at the fabric
He was thinking "This must be some kind of dream, a drenched young girl hitch-hiking at midnight"
And like the stories he'd read there on the internet, he knows how those stories end
