The Exposure of Assault




A simple truth
known in the depths of a woman
acknowledged in silence
found in the haunted forest
on a moonless night.

The rustling
movement of another being
painful memories suddenly flee
deeper into the dark
on a moonless night.

The daylight
the enemy of the fear
never seeps into the deep recess
where yesterday resides
on a moonless night.

He travels
upon the tails of his power
seeking the mew of the weaker
cowering in prayer
on a moonless night.

The smell
success shall be his this night
a hunt to satisfy his lust
need will multiply
on a moonless night.

Years past by
his presence always nearby
hunger for someone much younger
fear never leaves
on a moonless night.

A simple truth
known in the depths of a woman
acknowledged in silence
found in the haunted forest
on a moonless night.

Trying to explain the stigma, the fear and the anger that being abused leaves
in the victim is impossible to those who have never experienced it.
To explain it to those who have takes no words.
