Shh, you would wake me in the middle of the night Come with me, youd say, and everything will be alright As I walked with you through the grass barefoot I knew this was anohter night of anger and hurt Anger at myself for not standing up for my right Hurt from your touch that told me I was to weak to fight Your magic fingers touching me the way they did Your voice making me think that no one would believe me because I was a kid Closing my eyes and screaming on the inside You yelling at me because I shouldnt have cried I would never let you see that I was in pain My tears would never pour down like rain Touching me, creasing my skin With eveyr lick, I could feel the hair on your chin Mom, Id scream, but only my mind could hear Come help me think straight and make my thoughts clear Tell me im in the right not in the wrong Help me get out of his touch thats so strong After you were done, you looked at me and stood And told me to let you do itagain like a good girl should As you guided me back to the house in your arms so tight You told me if I let you do it again you would love me with all your might As you laid my head on the pillow ans tucked me into bed You told me nothing of this night shoulod ever be said As you glanced at me ans shut the door I fell to my knees crying on the floor I will never let this happen again, was all I could think I will just never let my eyes ever blink I hat you, you bastard, I wish you would die I said to myself, trying not to cry Will my heart ever have a chance to mend It will, but first I have to find a way to make this all come to an end |

I am sorry for your loss, but I could not, would not read all of it. I hope you find the comfort, the solace, the renewal that you need. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Wish I had the words, wish this didn't have to happen to you, wish It could all dissappear..I wish you all the strength you need to battle through this |

Little_One~ Such a poignancy to the ugly truths of life~ If your perpetrator still draws breath, I hope he knows that you've finally broken the silence he intimidated you into for so many years. Scream it through your writing ! To call out the shadows, is to free the mind~ Bless you as you continue to do so~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Kristen - I wish I didnt understand this - but I do - much too much - and my heart - it cries with you in this deep chasm of guilt and hatred that I wish would wash from me like the summer rain . . . Excellent write - xxoo |
