My eyes were bright; they glimmered with hope

The type of hope no one could contain.

My cheeks were rosy and soft

You could see the innocence that still lingered

In my inexperienced eyes.

 

But now it is different.

In just a matter of seconds, my world started to crumble.

 

I was scared.

The way he touched my face saying its okay

The memory is burned in the back of my mind,

Waiting for the right moment to strike.

 

Do you choose no to know? 

Do you see the pain in my once soft face?

 

My body relives that day everynight.

The meaningless "I love you's"

The sweet nothings.

I can feel him whisper them to my ear.

 

I am numb.

In just a matter of seconds, I became a living statistic.

 

The innocence is now gone, taken the moment he entered my life.

Now he roams the streets freely

While I sit in my room, scared to leave 

All because I don't think I could handle seeing him again.

 

You hear countless stories of these

Never thinking that you would become one.
