did you ever see his face as he took your innocence away did you ever look into evil's eyes did you play the devil's games did you try to **** yourself when it was all over because the blood wouldn't wash from your thighs did you scream into your pillow at night so no one heard your cries did you watch your world go up in fire that retracted your soul in smoke did you mask the pain with the blade of change just so you could cope did you feel like you just might not make it did you wonder how much longer you could take it did you wonder how people could say that you faked it did you ever wonder why you
did it happen to you?
(C) Maxwell 2015
This poem was inspired by all abuse victims who become lost in a mist consumed of people who'd rather support their abusers than to heal the abused. I stand with you, because I am a victim too.
