Looking Back

times have changed 
and so have i 
i try not to think
about a time that
made me cry
what you did
was wrong
no doubt about that
i want you to be punished
for your crimes
i cant tell anyone
because i am ashamed
i could have done something
anything
the way you touched me today
on my leg
brought back all the pain
i didn't cry i held it in
i don't want you to know 
why i cry myself 
to sleep at night
