and eye was like 13
and it was a Sunday morning eye think

and
eye think both my parents were still asleep

eye remember
eye was gonna play sick so eye wouldn't have to go to church that day

[don't stop]
[don't stop]

and eye turned over
and there he was

[my beloved]
[my beloved]

holding a pillow
he smelled of sweat & regret


and he said ....
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Otep is just trying to open up to her fans by picking up a pen and writing about all the crap she has been through. I am the same way, if something happened long ago or now that hurt me and damaged me I would write it down, and I wouldn't care what people thought it ment. I think Otep is just writing to herself, AND to the person who did these horrible things to her. I do agree with some of you that she didn't enjoy it, and that she still had feelings for this person because he was too close to lose. I never had a father, so I wouldn't know how any of this feels like to her, but I am sure if I did have my father and he raped me I would still love him because he's my FATHER. And I think she believes that everyone should love their father. She is hipnotized by society to still love her father when she can hate him so easily. If I am wrong... oh well.
