You are my Father
Why do you do this?
I am your daughter.
Is something amiss?

You touch me
not as a Father should
I want to tell someone
If only I could

If I tell
I'll lose my family
If I do not
It'll stay with me

You say you love me
yet I know better.
You have now placed on me
a scarlet letter.

***Chic
As promised I have checked out some more of your work....this is what I came across.
I am so sorry. You are on the floor and you obviously need picking up. You are, to a certaiin extent, doing this yourself by expressing yourself in your poems.
Keep on writing and keep on fighting.
Feel free to mail me if you want to keep in touch.
Love Louise   xxx

This is sad and well written chic. Feel better... I would take the path of telling others if I were you, but that is only the way I think. You see the situation in a way I can not.

The piece is good but the content is sad and bothersome I must say.  Don't see how you can continue in that environment.  Hope there is someone that you can talk to about this and get help.  Don't understand why you would lose your family if this is not revealed.  There must be love there somewhere.  Hope it works out.  If you want an e-mail friend, count me in.
Good luck.
