Why??

What drives a person to take a child against their will?
His desires encouraged by her terror and her fears.
His advances more determined as the child struggles.
Her whimpering and crying do nothing to stop him.

How does violence equate to lust?
Beaten during the day, raped in the night....
How can he awaken every day & look into the mirror?
Was all the drinking to hide the shame?
To make each day more bearable.

What made him want a child?
What made him want me?
