Nightmares of a Past

Nightmares of a past I wished was long forgotten Haunting my every waking moment again and very often A mere child, jump ropes and swings were my delight No knowledge of these things, that were for adults at night Awakened from a childlike slumber, only to be touched and Become so encumbered, fondled by the most immoral, corrupt And vile man I will ever know. Family he was Supposed to be, a horrible nightmare he had become to me. For a long time it was as if it never transpired, I thought it was wiped away from my mind, forever to be left behind But deep in the dark recesses of a brain so mired A place always avoided, it has became quite glaringly clear That I couldn't break free from the violation of that year. To this day over forty plus years, my thoughts always become full of sorrow, Anguish and anger for that little girl and the sadness that would follow.
