Small gestures
And unexpected
Touches leave their marks
Their phantoms remain
To make the skin crawl
as though they're back.
Try not to remember
The feeling
Of being watched
Like a piece of meat
Try not to remember
The exploitation
Of a child's innocence
By another broken soul.
Try not to remember
The hands
While they nod along
Unaware of the despicable intent.
Try not to remember
The hands
And their refusal
To relent when met
With a plea.
The faces never leave
The hands never leave
The skin reacts
With such visceral
Disgust
It feels better to burn
Away everything
Than to remember
When people ignored
The meaning of 'no'.
