she will ever remember
his abuse & assaults forever... she
would forever remember his fear and ever
know his abuse which would escalate to even
levels higher if questioned.. She never tried to
negotiate with him for fear of physical harm
and his weird sexual pleasures... He
would force negotiation & or
confrontation which
would only lead to

his personal leisures, leaving
her in tears... He kept her in the dark
about every thing... Money, etc. What more
is there to say... He isolated her from the world
where we live today... When his father stuck his
hand up under her dress & touched her private
parts, he commanded her to never ever tell
a soul... Then while she was at work on
a day he killed her favorite son for
crying and carrying on, then
forced her to help him
bury him in the
basement of a low
rented apartment when

he moved her to the mountains
where the closest neighbor was about
thirty miles away and he left her no car
and three other infants to care and
fear for... Should I say... or
carry on..?

A true story
sorry to
say

I didn't want to let this slip by and many of you may have read it already... It's actually about two women who are very dear to me that I've know for a couple of decades or more. What I really wanted to say and project was how their lives were/are forever changed. No therapy can ever return them. One has been in a hospital for about six years now the other is... Well, she's surviving... Is it a wonder why I question my fellow..?

Sincerely dale

I know these two women too, and their stories, sweetheart, and I think this is an important poem, because people, especially caring people like poets, really should know that such atrocities can and do exist.
Bravo for putting it all into words, my darling husband.
