I was only a child
when it first happened,
so I knew no better
but you knew,
you understood.
My body was thrown
around an empty room,
with bruise after bruise,
I never lost my pride.
Only now, do I feel
the need to hide,
hide from the souls
who I once thought
could do no wrong.
I will never forget
the first touch,
the guilt,
the sheets made from
fresh silk,
pristine to the eyes
but crumbling with
the dirt of such lies.
I was only a child
when I first learnt
the true meaning of evil,
looking into your mind,
shut the door,
close the blinds;
alone.
I was only a child before that night,
before happiness was replaced
with fright.
You knew,
you understood
and I was all but a woman.
