If We Had Told...
If We Had Told...
of Jennifer and me,
When she was five
and I was three.
It brings me sadness
since it was taken before,
I was molested
at the age of four.
And she was as well
or so it seems.
So we coped in our nightmares
when allowed to dream.
And I think to myself,
who would we have turned out to be?
if we weren't molested
after five and three?
It makes me wonder—
would you have taken your life?
Would I have become
A Trophy Wife?
Would you still be here—
could we all grow old?
What would have been different,
If only we had told?
Its 3 am and again you are not
Next to me
I open my eyes only to realize I am flat on my back on the floor of my Watercolor home in the exclusive 30A enclave of Florida’s gulf coast. I slowly reach up with my left hand and touch my left ear; it is bleeding.
Our home last night
Lured by the light
