he tried to hurt her
and he did
small limbs pinioned on the sheets
scents weaving heavy patterns in the air
the hold he had on her
blood
pulsing through her veins
she was too young to stop it
hovering somewhere above her body
she glimpses her future
she walks on fire
confident and strong
she does not let him break her
she forgives
he can't help himself
she walked on eggshells then
she never told
and kept the truth from herself
soon he will be gone
and she can voice her secret
