Trust

By Evelyn Williamson

trust me

you said; i was

afraid

you didn’t

care; i locked

the door

you touched

made me

touch

put it on my

back

put it in my

hand

this was a game

to you

not to me

my father

trusted you

threatened him

threatened

me

i told no one

years in fear

still haunt my dreams
