So many secerts <br />Dark and dangerous that I fear you are hiding <br />Trembling with a cold fist clenching at my heart <br />Aching to ask <br />Yet so very afraid of the answer <br />I wonder if I will ever be able to bring myself to ask you <br />The unaskable <br />The unthinkable <br />Are you raping a fifth grader? <br /> <br />In her eyes <br />I see such fear <br />Such terrible fear <br />Whenever you come near <br />From her lips <br />I hear what I want to believe are nothing more then lies <br />God I pray that they are lies <br />Wicked hellish lies <br />Because if they are not.... <br /> <br />I'm not sure how <br />If we can even go on <br />Longing to stand by you <br />Forever at your side <br />But only if you're not a monster <br />A criminal sleeping in my bed tonight <br />Then sinning in hers the very next <br />Makes me sick just thinking about what you might be doing tonight <br />All alone in the dark with a defendless child <br /> <br />Soon you'll be home <br />Soon all too soon I will be forced to ask <br />This buring horrid question <br />Haunting me both day and night <br />Tossing and turning in my sleep <br />Praying that you have not been leading an innocent sheep astray <br />Gulping down handful after handful of pills <br />Just to calm my anxious nerves <br />Just to give to me the courage to ask you at long last tonight.... <br /> <br />The unthinkable <br />The unfathomable question <br />Are you raping a fifth grader?<br /><br />Ramona Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-you-raping-a-fifth-grader/
