Innocence Lost

Hands of Darkness
Touching my face.
Then grasping and fondling
A once private place.

Despair and dread
Icy fingers in my soul.
Torn by guilt and shame,
I no longer will be whole.

To struggle only binds me tighter,
Caught in a web that won't let go.
Where to turn? Who will believe?
When did my friend become my foe?

Oh my...this brings back some painful memories....maybe I'm interpretting it wrong (is this about rape (or something like rape)?) this almost has me in tears..
very well written...lots of "numb emotion"..

Lisette, a most powerful write.  I do hope if this is factual, you do have someplace to go, someone to talk to.  If fictional, you have a very vivid imagination, and I look forward to reading more.

Welcome to Passions!
