Never Forgotten
By Kristin L. Evans

I was only eight when it began
Late at night, when I was alone
You preyed on my innocence and my trust
How did I know that it was wrong??
You did things so horrible to me
My soul and body were bared
What you did to that little girl
Left me feeling alone and scared
You said it was to show your love
By taking my body for your use
But now I know that what happened to me
Wasn't love; it was abuse
All the dirty things you did to me
Won't wash away with rain
Nothing on earth will rid my heart
Of this neverending pain
I hope that you hurt as much as I do
Or do you even remember what you did
Nothing will make up for the pain you caused
When I was just a kid
The physical scars you put on my body
Have since healed with time
But my pain still shows on the outside
Whenever the child inside of me starts to cry
That little eight year old girl
Had to grow up way too soon
And all of the hurt and pain that you have caused
Will always be remembered; like a flower that forever blooms

Oh my!!  I could feel your pain so freely in this poem.  I am not sure if this happened to you or not, either way, its a tragedy!    But you did do a lovely job explaining it.  WOW!  I cant get over the pain I sill feel in it.  Nice job my Friend!

Once there was a darkness
Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had
Ahhhhhh you gave me light

I wrote this poem about the abuse I suffered at the hands of my former stepfather from the time I was 8 until I was 13.  It's one of the first poems I ever wrote.  I'd really appreciate feedback and comments.  Thanks!

Kristin, what a horrible cruel thing for any child to experience. I often hate this world. and cannot even believe how horrid it can be. But love is here too, hang on, a few sparkles of light in the world of darkness. They are there, we have to look hard sometime.
Peace

To all of you who have responded to my poem, thank you.  I have had people read the poem and call me sick, disgusting, then tell me the abuse was my fault.

LarBear: "tookabear" was my father's nickname for me when I was young.  I'm not really sure what it means or where it came from.

Again, thank you all.

tookabear, I could never begin to express my sorrow for your experience, nor can I say I know a pain that deep. But I give to you my deepest wishes that you find the courage to heal. A well written poem, I just wish it was fictional...This is a tragedy.
