Victim of Abuse

\'Hush my darling, don\'t hide your sweet face as

You cower in the shadows, cloaked in the

Darkness to avoid my hate. It was a

Moment of madness, pure selfish pride that

Made me re-arrange your face. My club fist

Snarled in a ball, unleashed with fury at

You so small. Hush darling I won\'t invade

Your virginity or fondle your bones,

Soiled in my fluids, soiled in my filth.

Hush my darling I won\'t inflict more pain

On our guilt. Hush my darling don\'t cry at

My love - locked in my conspiracy, our

Secret to keep, locked in your eyes, locked in

Your heart, locked in your room, frightened to sleep.\'
