It Happened One Day

His hands were strong
And warm
His fingers long
And smooth
I was cold
He didn’t say
One word
He thought
I was sleeping
Was I
In a dream
Or a nightmare
One touch
Started it all
A slippery slope
I fell down
MY FAULT
Slowly now
Slowly
MY FAULT
Softly now
Softly
Don’t move
Don’t breathe
Until you can’t
Until you beg
No more
I didn’t know
He didn’t stop
