lost in the dark abyss i call my mind

raindrops

have you ever

had a thought come across your mind

and let it penetrate your brain until it leaks?

have you ever

trusted someone in an oblivious trance

and allowed them to touch and break you?

it starts with icy fingertips on frigid bare skin

which leads to what i never want to remember

thanks to you

who taught me the touch

since i was very young

i never knew how bad it was

until i was told it is not love

it is an evil thing

that i can never get away from

just like raindrops

falling down on my head

to my broken heart

that will never mend

because my father broke it

before anyone else

could.
