Eternal Torment

Oh please not again Please don’t leave me alone with him I can’t say for sure, but I think that I know What he will do to me when you go My heart beats fast, I’m scared inside I can’t tell you why I want to hide You don’t understand, you just need some time You can’t see that I’m crying inside I fell dirty and guilty, that’s why I don’t tell I don’t understand why I’m put through this Hell I’m just a kid, I am not brave He’s the adult, he should behave But that day won’t come for a while I try to endure and put on a smile Oh this secret I must keep For 10 more years without a peep And when I finally let it out There is no peace, there is just doubt What have I done? I’ve made you cry. I don’t blame you, I don’t imply But I can see inside your eyes You feel at fault, you’re asking why There was nothing you could do I kept this secret safe from you 10 plus years it’s been since then I’ve done the work, I’ve forgiven him.

Oh Kirstie, my heart goes out to this poor child, and any like her. If this is about you, to forgive they say is the healthiest thing for yourself. I am struggling with this word and what it means, and trying to write a poem about it. Forgiveness can be a powerful thing, if you are really able to do it. An emotional write that tells a disturbing story. Love and hugs to you my friend, Shar xoxo
