Routing through belongings, searching for answers to fix the problem
Foolishly thinking if I found her, things could be different.
A photograph,
It felt like home.
A hospital bed, arms wrapped around each other
Smiles so genuine
It set off fireworks of emotions.
So I stole it.
Rings piecing together
The lies that were fed to us.
Engaged,
But not for long.
Birth certificates and court case paperwork
Locked away for safe keeping
It wasn't his truth to hide
It was ours.
Christmas cards and presents left under the tree
Hoping, praying shed come back and fix this.
No name, only a face
Young
Too young for my dad
It was labelled as wrong
But you tell me what worse?
An age gap?
Or two mentally broken children who could figure out what it is they did wrong.
The days faded into months
Absolute mental and physical torture.
Days missed off school
Hiding tell tale secrets that were not to be exposed.
No one knew.
No one.
Humiliated at home and school
Dragged out of a van by my feet
Hundreds of unaware kids staring at my version of hell
Blushed cheeks from pure embarrassment
Questions after questions from teachers who wouldn't leave the matter be
"you're making this worse"
Repeated over and over to anyone who asked questions
A cup of tea shared with social services and my dad
Questioned about the scars that were getting too noticeable
But no one ever noticed the bruises.
Only the words poisonly spat out of his mouth
"they're uncontrollable, I don't know what to do anymore"
Making it out like we were the problem.
Razors teared apart for multi-use,
Cigarettes stolen,
Alcohol missing.
Searching for an escape from the excruciating pain
Adding fuel to the fire
I admit
We never perfect
No mater how hard we pursued it.
