No Longer Safe


You remember the hands the grip that held you in place the force he stained in your soul in your inner grave. You remember the pain, how he yelled, you screamed, the vulnerability. The will to fight, to keep fighting No one came you were being hurt, on the street in a car In your home not to far. In your temple there was a hole. She was elevating beyond the corners of her skin. Violated then she'll remember you. She does remember you your scent, your face and your power. She remembers the fear, your marks all over the place. She sees how the candlelight almost out the mental replay on all the time. She knows her course has changed, her faith damaged hope lost She knows because of you she is no longer safe.
