I heard the wolf howl
we never stood a chance
limited time only edition
watch as the torches go out
and greens and blues turn to black
felt your hand pressing me down
To My Mother
Momma he beats me.
What do you want for dinner?
Leftovers sound fine.
To My Rapist
Bruises are bone deep,
Your name is burned on my skin,
Dear attacker,
It has been so long since I’ve seen your face
yet I feel I will never forget it
brown eyes
pale skin
white teeth
the most charming smile
I tried to be strong
But strong is not strong,
And crying is not wrong
If it happened again I would be weak
I would not lie down and take it.
I would cry and weep
and make it impossible
for you
