Do you remember?
Caressing face
hair
running hands
over slender body
nary a hint of gender
words mumbled
reassurances in grave voice
pain
over and over
even as I screamed
you took your pleasure
regardless
that I was a child!
Black
never ending
varying shades
can you see your hand
can you see my face
can you hear my voice
it shall haunt you
until I am done
even then
not sure
pain will end there.
You broke me.
You used me.
You sold me.
Told me I was a princess.
Told me I was a good little girl.
You told me lies
when all I wanted was your love
not this…..
fear
rage
unending need
carried with me through time
do you think
with your death
that shall cure me?
Each cut
placed
razor thin
maximize your pain
while minimizing
chance you will die
upon this table
before my revenge is done.
I bled before you
as men paraded
in
out
pink confectionary
canopy bed
beneath which
acts
perpetrated
haunting to this day.
Bye bye Daddy o’ mine
broke my heart
broke my head
and now
you are going to bleed
slowly to death.
