The crying angel

What angel sits there
Hugging a doll
With tears in her eyes

She slowly whispers
Secrets in her ear
With tears in her eyes

Who but that doll sees?
The nights she spends
With tears in her eyes

Her mother doesn't understand
Why everyday she wakes
With tears in her eyes

Her father knows
As he puts a finger to her lips
He holds her tight,
And rapes her every night.
