You convinced my family you're innocent and caring,
They gave you ownership of me for a month
While they went away on some fucked up cruise.
You took me away from my town and friends
And fooled me into thinking that it was right!
I slit my wrists and tried to overdose,
You aren't meant to fuck with me like this.
In hospital the doctors called my caseworker
And the cops to make you settle down.
I begged for them to let me see you,
I pleaded them to let you take me home.
My caseworker was in the right all along!
She tried to make me safe, she tried,
But you made me think I loved you.
You took me to your "mates" place,
He called me Sweetheart and Angel.
Both of you kept talking quietly
Before he'd smile at me and wink.
You told me I loved you.
The two of you took turns raping me,
When you couldn't do it yourself
You used whatever you could find.
I cried and yelled for you to stop
"No, please Uncle Graham! No!"
I told you you're scum and you laughed,
You spanked my arse and said you love me.
I lied for you, to the cops and to my parents.
-Spitting at your dead body,
I can smell the alcohol on my breath,
Wondering if it'll pass as self defence.-
Author notes
Suppose you could call it forbidden love.
It was, in a way.
Forbidden, I mean. Legally.
It was love all the same.

OMG. That's awful....... my heart goes out to you.
The end, that last stanza, actually gave me chills. This was an extremely well-written piece. I congratulate you, and good luck. -
Who is a nice drunk? Ah well fuck it anyway, not bothered. You should tell someone... It may not help what he done but it will show him up. Don't you want him to feel the fear of everyone knowing and perhaps beating him to a shit pulp? For him to fear you for a change and what you can say? Power is a beautiful thing, bring on the fucking power and sometimes cruelty matched with cruelty is a beauty. Just my advice take it or leave it, whichever.

woah this is really intence Im sooooo sorry you went throught this it must be really hard for you right now..Id you need anyone to talk to I can totaly relate to this and its not fun! Its good to let your emotions out this was a great write and good luck

Cant say GOOD ON YOU large enough on here! While the LIE persists the justfication persists. BE ANGRY and STAY BLOODY ANGRY! Be angry at the act and I hope you got to say all this TO the people concerned and everyone else. These parasites who teach LOVE in this form destroy people. ARSES! I love you BLAM! I love you BLAM! And yes they teach you YOU LOVE THEM. Great insight. Great write. STAY PISSED OFF! You have a reason to be pissed off. Dont ever hide it. This sick bloody society that teaches BEING ANGRY isnt healthy makes a paradise for parasites. And often makes the victims feel GUILTY for feeling angry??? I'd be there beside you to spit on his grave. Or better still....alive....in his face.
Great write. Great insight in that "he taught me I loved him"! KUDOS. I hope a lot of people get to read this and draw courage from it.

That comment definetly made me laugh. Hurts like hell to be saying this stuff but it's got to be worth it in the end... (I think.) Hehe, anyway he's still alive. He's moved but he comes back every month or two... So he may not be alive for much longer

Sadly enoughj I can understand in a way what you are going through. I've never harmed myself, I am too much of a coward, but the other stuff... It is sad that so many people could relate to this poem, it's sick that it happened to you, and theres really nothing anyone can say taht will help, so I won't try. But this really was a very powerful poem

Thanks for commenting,
There are people like this everywhere, and when you think about it, there isn't one person who isn't affected by them. Family members and friends of the abuser or the victim are still affected.
It's ridiculous really.
Anyway, thanks.
