Masterwaiter
You waited around the corner
those green crimson walls
blood leaked in my brain
words spilled out of my mouth as you dug for them with your teeth
it was almost as harsh as your hands diging up into my middle
how far would they reach.
I want you to understand the thoughts that reeked from your abuse
those tourtured days and nights
dreadful days of school
always there
doors didn't have locks
my body always seemed unlocked.
why did you use your hands
why did you torture my body
why did you kiss my lips and shove your tongue in places unnamable
why did you slice my throat
for crying out loud this is a letter to the world
NO ONE EVER LISTENS
not even you stupid scholarship.
Here is a cry for those who are sexually abused
all to ignore
not to make you guilty
but to plead with you that we understand
realize...that I too have been there
and suffered that very same instance,
but yet only with a different man.
but again you choose that girl who writes about flowers
and not the one who has suffered
the death of each petal.
