Unspoken secrets

Unspoken secrets

Future uncertain, fears of the dark

Empty feelings of regret

With the emptiness so stark

Something that happened you might ask?

Violation, a trust forever broken

Deepest, darkest fears come to life

Day in, day out always on my mind

Inner peace a constant struggle to find

Memories so clear, so sharp

So vivid and filled with pain

Feelings of utter fear so strong

A fear that always seems to rein

Where does it all end

The disgust, the self blame

The sensations, the numbness

All for his personal claim

A claim not his to stake

Not his to have or hold

Not his to just take

Yet in this he seemed so bold

Leaving in his wake, a disabling terror

Feelings of utter hate, self loathing

Breathtaking horror

At the arrogance of this man

Never to forgive or forget

When does this pass

It’s these feelings that need to be forgotten

Question that need no longer be asked

Wherever your are

What ever you do

Maybe you are the one now in the dark

Left looking for redemption

It’s a journey I find myself on

Thoughts and feelings to erase

From my soul , from my heart

Of feelings of hate that were set ablaze

I might one day accept

I might some day forgive

I might move forward

But will never forget
