What a Child Doesn'T Know
She searched for God
in the arms of a man
who was searching for an ******
in the space between her legs.
He thought the blood disgusting,
she watched her innocence flow away.
From her tears she hoped he would glean
how much pain he was causing
but soon she had to speak the words.
He told her it hurt less
the more you do it
so she braced herself for him to enter
again.
She called him the next day
and the day after that.
Nine months later
still no answer.
