I remember you used to creep like a mouse,
I’d lay there & try to stop my breathing,
Because to you & your needs I wanted to be deceiving.

But it didn’t work for too long I have to say,
You were the first to take my innocence away,
Not with rape but with your wandering hands,
That still came from across perverted lands.

I was 11 at the time you were 18,
To touch me like a lover you were more than keen,
I remember catching my breath as I was scared,
I tried to make is so my mind was not there.

I woke up confused & frightened,
In my chest my heart muscles tightened,
As I knew that something wasn’t as it should,
I felt so dirty like I’d rolled in the mud.

But I never told not for 2 whole years,
I kept it to myself as from you I was in fear,
If I had told I knew you would come to get me,
From the nightmare I’d have never been free.

I Just Lay There

Well expressed, your pain I understand to a point. I could never put myself in your shoes, but I too have had a painful time in my life. Reading this I think I can put into words now thank you.

My dear, if it really happened, it was rape, pure and simple. I can't advise, but God bless and heal you, I pray.

No Lionel, it was sexual abuse, which is not rape, rape is intercourse, and YES it did ***** happen

The nightmare never ends
Keep writng and releasing
the pain you have deep inside.

oh Ignore the idiot faction who continue
to annoy with mindless comments.
