The fresh morning dew,

Me next to you,

I felt so cherished,

So happy with you…

Until you took the one thing I needed to keep,

I was only 3.

As I waited for you,

On the church pew,

You startled me so,

I hid from you,

It lasted not long,

A second or two,

Then from me,

It was stolen by you…

I was only 12.

This time a teen,

I felt so unclean,

tears covered my face,

Dirt layered my feet,

I tried to scream,

I tried to yell,

But it was no use,

No one would help...

I was only 14.

This time in a room unfamiliar to me,

I cried in a corner,

Waiting to be free,

But to my surprise,

The fear in my eyes,

A million men,

Took this from me…

I was only 16.

Next was the same,

This time in my room,

I trusted you,

But you hurt me too,

We were best friends,

Until you hurt me,

And for this,

I will never forgive thee,

I was not yet 17.
