Breathe
Crunch, crunch, crunch, I hear the autumn leafs, I look up.
There he was.
Standing in front of me.
Looking me in the eyes smiling, reaching out touching my hair sliding his hand down my back.
I thought to myself "no, no, no why are you here? Why would you touch me or even smile at me."
My eyes felt heavy, my mind is running everywhere.
"What if he does it again?" I felt his warm breath on my neck again, asking me how I was, I clenched my teeth and closed my eyes, my hair blowing in the wind like the shedding trees, wishing this was a dream. The cold breeze quickly broke my wish telling me it wasn't... My heart is beating uncontrollably; I hear his whispering all over "it's okay we're family now, don't be shy."
I am broken.
Hands shaking and breathing becomes harder. It felt like I was in that room all over again reliving every moment over, and over. Watching the leafs blow away, wishing I could just blow away too. youve broke apart of me forever. ill always be scared, youve scarred my whole childhood. "Come in" I said as I listen to you walking behind me, I close my eyes tightly, covering my mouth trying not to let anyone hear me weep. I looked him back in the eyes, took a deep breath and looked at the ground, as I lost myself again.
