Poetry: Sexual abuse

by Louise Ciccone

Created on: November 20, 2008

Why did you touch me there

Why did you go where you

Weren't supposed to

Why did you make me feel

Like I was the weak

It wasn't power that you wanted

It was power that you need



And I hate to think as

I closed my eyes

Pretending to sleep

When really

I was awake
But I couldn't really Feel the pain




Now I am older

I feel it

Every moment of

Every day

Every time I

Make love

Their face

Turns into yours

Their face turns

Into yours



I can't stand it

I can't explain it



I fear I will never understandThis pain




What made you think

You are so great

That you could be there

When I masturbate



I did not want
You there

I did not need

You there

I never asked for



You to be there
But you still came anyway

When I was young and yes even now





Would you do it now

Now that I am older

Now that I am so strong




Or did I gain

That strength

Because I was so

Weak
I am never really

Going to know

There are a lot of

Things I will

Never really

Know




I Do know

One thing

You did not gain

Any power

Honey
You lost it

When you did

What you did

Said you were going to

Check up on the kids

Instead you

Checked up on me





Not even me
Just parts of me





They were my parts



Not yours



I Will never

Forgive you

Never I

Will never

Forgive you

Unless
Unless
No
I Will

Never forgive you



You had no right

To go there




Did I know it

Was wrong
If no body told me so

Well yes cause my body

Told me
My body knows

What you have taken

And what I will never

Never
Never
Ever
Get back




And as I think

About it more

I start to feel real good



In between my legs

Something I know

I should not do



Then I start to

Touch myself

And then I come

Thinking of you

That's betrayal

That's betrayal

That's betrayal

And you will be

Punished

For this
Just as much as I
If you are not

Punished now

You will be

You will be

You will be
By God, unless your conscience does it first.
