Is There No Escape?

Lingering in the darkness

unseeing, fearing, fearing

not the dark, but the light

fearing the light

for with the light comes discovery

with discovery comes him

with him comes a touch

oh, what a dirty touch

why oh why

what have I done wrong?

this is normal, he says

this is our little secret, he says

you tell anyone, I’ll kill you..

maybe death would be better

he could not touch me then

he could not touch me in all

those private places

he says he loves me

I should love him

but I don’t

I can’t

I won’t

there is no escape

only death might suffice

his death

or mine

and then

maybe

not
