I am so sorry daddy
I made you so mad
I made you a fool
And made mommy sad
She cries as you hit me
I fall to the floor
You say I deserve this
And hit me some more
I am sorry mommy
You try to stop the fist
But he pushes you back
Mommy I deserve this
I done something wrong
I am not sure what I did
But I am sure it was something
I am a bad kid
My eyes are so black
And my body is sore
Daddy, you still kick me
As I fall to the floor
You say I am a brat
I don't try to fight back
You keep hitting me harder
My body just tosses like a sac
You grab my hair
Pull my body in the air
Call me a bitch
And then throw me in the chair
Mommy is begging you
To please go to bed
But you do not listen
You say you want me dead
I try to then run
But you grab my arm
You squeeze me so tight
And break off my necklace charm
I am crying and choking
I try to get away
You tell me to stop struggling
That I asked for it this way
Now you take my head
Crack it against the wall
I'm bleeding profusely
And my body just falls
I feel so numb
But mom I can hear
You tell her to shut up
And to fetch you a beer
I feel her hands touch me
They're touching my head
Mommy is screaming
That she thinks I am dead
I am not dead mommy
I am right here
Please do not say that
Just hold me so dear
Mommy tells you I am not breathing
But I hear you walk away
She is screaming for God to help
But mommy I am awake
Now I feel like I am rising
I see my own face
covered with blood
Mommy's fingers just trace
She rocks me back and forth
I just lay there... dead
Mommy kisses me softly
On my bloody, bashed in head
You now come back Daddy
And you take me outside
You lay me down
Just letting me slide
Your start digging a whole
Beneath my old tree
With the tire tied on it
That was put up for me
You keep going deeper
And I watch my body turn blue
Daddy this all happened
Because of just you
I done nothing wrong
And I was never mean
You just got drunk and angry
And caused a whole scene
You now toss your shovel
And walk back to me
You throw me down in there
All this I can see
I stand right behind you
Asking you why
I was a child
And you wanted me to die
Mommy stays inside
While your covering me with dirt
Your hair in your eyes
And my blood covers you shirt
Your face is so red
But you don't shed a tear
Just stand with a shovel
Smelling like beer
It was always like this
Since I had turned three
You never had loved
But had always despised me
Now I am older
I am now five
But guess what Daddy
You ended my life
You stomp down the dirt
And start drinking your beer
I walk to what’s covering me
And me and you stand so near
I ask you why again
But I guess you can’t hear
I start walking to you
And I swallow my fear
I scream out loud daddy
But you just stand still
And I aim to hit you
Wondering if you feel
But I put down my arm
And realize it’s no good
I decide not to hit you
Even though I should
I’ll just be this ghost
Haunting the house
Wearing my old shorts
With this bloody blouse
I won’t let you forget daddy
You killed me tonight
And I was a child
That could not put up a fight
Mommy will always have me
She didn’t want me to go
She couldn’t help it
And that’s something I know
Daddy I am here
Looking at you
Thinking of all the Hell
You have put me through
These chipped away teeth
Scars on my head
The times you would kick me
And now I am dead
Your face is so red
But you don't shed a tear
Just stand next to a shovel
Smelling like beer

Holy Shit!
I had to take a few minutes before typing this because I am crying...and to make a reader be this emotional from reading something you wrote... means you did your job! This is just so well done and flowed perfectly! Very Deep and dark and just had everything!
Saying Great Job... doesn't do enough justice.. but this is definitely a terrific write! I look forward to reading more.

Wow--this is quite powerful. What a detestable subject---ugh. This is a really good piece, though. It could be done really well as a performance piece.
On a technical note, I really like the kind of innocent and simple rhyming and rhythm... it definately adds to the poem. On certain lines, though, you have a few extra syllables, and that can kind of throw the reader off when the rest of it is so metered, but overall it's really well written. -
