I almost made it through
Without thinking about you
So many years have past
I thought I was free at last
But somehow you came through
Just like you always do
As the tears streamed from my eyes
Yet again I cry
Tears of remorse
Of my life's course
Of where I've been
My skin worn thin
One day a year your memory tears at me
Setting the tears free
I almost made it through
This one day without thinking about you
I still remember the terror like it was yesterday
It screams back at me today
It tortures me with murderous desire
Anger burns with such fire
Sorrow at what you've taken away from me
The day you stole my virginity and my dignity
My self worth, and my innocence
As you stole my ignorance
Crushing me with brutality
Raping me into reality
Maybe someday
I'll forget about you
Maybe someday I'll make it through
Seventeen years, so long ago
And still I can't let go
In a list

Lissa, We all pray for that day to happen. Horrid memories that leave our souls scarred and our minds. It's so hard to get the picture out. It took me forty-one years before that face finally faded away. One thing that keeps us strong is knowing we survived and that is where we have to go from. It will never go away totally, it will just become a faded fear. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I wish you all the best in erasing that fear which still lies within you, causing you pain and suffering. I also want to wish you the very best in this contest. Live life to the fullest my friend, don't let him keep haunting you. Love and God bless, Joyce

Thank you for your ever so sweet words and encouragement. I try not to let it haunt me, but it sits there at the back of my brain. Normally, I don't think about it, unless the subject is brought up, or the date happens. And Last year I almost made it through. Hopefully this year, it being so close to my wedding date, that I'll be too busy to remember. That's the best I can hope for at this point. Hugsssss Thanks again my friend.
