If We Had Told...

04 Dec, 2017•

by Lisa Rayner Catherall

There is a picture

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?

3AM

Its 3 am and again you are not

Next to me

Finding a Voice where once there were only whispers

Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife
is comprised of a series of sessions. Sessions which reveal a new piece of the puzzle, an emotional insight into the life of a torn soul trying to survive—hoping to survive in spite of all the setbacks, abuse, and heartache. Proceed with caution and care.

One

Shifting through sands

of emotion laughter leaves

me broken but not afraid

Waking Up in Watercolor

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.

The Moth

A moth flew in to

Our home last night

Lured by the light
