I was only nine when you took my innocence, and now that I’m older I’ve been trying to make sense. I could have loved him, I think if it wasn’t for you, but with each kiss I felt yours, and I couldn’t go through. I never let him in because what if he didn’t understand, the way that it felt to be used by a man? I know that by now your body has rotted, but the things that you did won’t be easily forgotten. Each time is a struggle when I find someone new, and they try to touch me like young lovers do. I get sick to my stomach and feel uneasy, and it leaves me feeling ***** and guilty. I find myself wondering if I'll end up alone, or if someone would love me despite what they'd know. If I could give them everything without pulling away, and if it took time, how long they would wait.
