she got up from sleep to share a bed, <br />memories are blurry and the guilt not shared, <br />such an happening is not exclusively rared, <br />they would have known if they only cared. <br />Begun lusting her as a kid, <br />inquisitive he seemed, whether she enjoyed the bid? , <br />bothered if her mouth would only zip, <br />her clothes he let them rip. <br />She went in that room one afternoon, <br />an instant memory of the previous day made her swoon, <br />it wasn't the first time, she felt gloom, <br />she wondered if was right what happened in that room? , <br />or has she met her doom? , <br />won't he know when she gets a groom? <br />She tried and failed, <br />couldn't bare as a kid she got nailed, <br />the predator still preys, <br />is not bailed coz was never jailed, <br />dirty childhood impressions have remained, <br />distances in their ages could not have gained, <br />she is only a kid could not have explained, <br />lust had the shame drained, <br />tears in silence beared more pain, <br />she could cry now when it rained. <br />The toffee didn't taste sweet, <br />the one he gave her to eat, <br />without a scream or even a tweet, <br />no understanding or a protest, <br />her mind couldn't be at rest. <br />She said she couldn't tell, <br />didn't think for once.....what the hell! <br />from her childhood as she fell. <br />“You find it sweet? ” asked her the man, <br />as the toffee melted in her hand, <br />“enjoy it as much as you can, <br />is toffee tastier than a man? , <br />i will give you another can”.<br /><br />rinki nandy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/toffee/
