When I was younger I was taught in school never to talk to strangers no matter how polite they look. But they never taught me what to do when someone who isn’t a stranger kidnaps my heart and leaves me as an empty carcass. Someone who I trusted the most… And isn’t trust a funny word? Especially to a child that is so easily manipulated. So quick to jump when a man needs help with a finding a lost puppy. Or when they say your name in just the right way. But once they are found dead in a wasteland is when they realize how foolish the word trust really is. And if someone who kidnaps and kills is prosecuted why aren’t you? Why aren’t you taking your seat on death row? Oh right, Because I’m still breathing. And causing someone to be dead on the inside isn’t a crime. I was just one of your trophies and engraved on my back was a black and blue target for your flesh tone arrows It was all just a game. A game that isn’t fair when you stole what was the most important to me. I let you hold on to my trust like a little girl would and you clenched your fist, letting me crumble. What makes you think it’s acceptable to come back and ask for a second chance? Another round? The little girl didn’t have a second chance to decline her offer. The vile man didn’t have a second chance to leave the playground. And I didn’t have a second chance to keep my self locked up tight or refuse you to touch me in that way even though you said it was “okay” because “loved me” And with a love like that you didn’t need to ask right? All I know is if I there was a way I could go back to that night where you asked me to dinner I would say “Sorry, I don’t talk to strangers.”
