puberty

i'll buy you a sweet if
you dont tell…well
what can she say
her naive nine year old mind
is cornered by confusion
shuld i tell about the thief
an' if i dont,will i go to hell
maybe God will forgive me if i pray
or maybe i'll pretend to be blind
an' what eye saw was an illusion

who will know about my bed
time stories, i cant let her know
daddy said it's our little secret
he promised to buy me sweets everytime
i felt hurt inside…
but this feeling i cant hide
somebody must know about this crime
i cant confine a sinful secret
he should've listened when i said no
didn't he know what he did was bad?

mama…last night
while you were working
dad was kissing the breast
his hands held the hips
then fell between the thighs
i watched as he broke virginity
him in her,she held tight
at the door,i thought of knocking
but i waited till they were at rest
his beer breath kissed her lips
i froze to listen to her familiar cries
i saw puberty born an no more virginity.
