His hands

I felt his hands touching my ******* my thighs

I fought but it changed nothing,

Because I was only 5

 

He told me that I should like it

Though I begged him to stop

It was more terrifying than I could ever admit

 

But he pulled me down

When I tried to run

And I felt like I was going to drown

 

He, who I had trusted

Desecrated my most private places

But he also forced his way into my head

 

It was only his hands

But to me

It was something I would never fully understand

 

His brother saw me

And ignored my pleas

As He violated my purity

 

I finally ran

From Him, my cousin

And the memory of his touch,

His hands.

Notes

Dear Cousin, I hate you. I hope you die full of regret and guilt. That in your last moments, you remember what you did to me. Because I can never forget. You destroyed something that was so precious, my sense of safety. And I will never ever forgive you.
