Now and Then

Still in my mind
many years pass
A life I didn't remember?
now there are endless tears
Memories that shame
are they real or not?
Broken dreams for the future
had in mind
Secrets you will find
inside the mind
Blind you were
for the child I see
Years pass and
now I see
The so many flashes
of abuse
That hurt me so
in mind, body and soul
How could you take
my innocence away
Which will be loss
forever more
Ever so blind
what you put me through
For your own self esteem
to make you happy
What about me?
You cure person indeed
Now you can't see the harm 
you did to me
Now that I am growing old
I wish I knew what it was to be a child
How many others did you
take their innocence
Was it two or
maybe ten or more?
I quess you are getting
what you deserve
In heaven or hell
whatever it may be?
