I was never afraid of the dark
Until I saw you in it
Standing there
Just staring
I knew what that meant
I stayed quiet
Faked my sleep
In hopes you would walk away
But you never did
You stood there
Wanting
Waiting
While your breath
Gave away exactly what you wanted
Silent tears fell down my face
As I unwillingly followed each step you took
I knew what was coming
And I was too young to stop it
I’m not sorry anymore
Because I’m not the same little kid
Who looked up
To a “man”
Who called every action
“Love”
