I get dizzy when I see your name,
Late at night,
Close my eyes,
His hands on me,
Every time I cry,
Violent swings come my way,
Was only 5,
Abuse got worse throughout the years,
Everything was hidden,
Nobody knew,
Mother just thought I was careless & a clutz,
I learned the words "I love you" through sex and my father,
Unsure how to wrap my head around this,
Every single touch,
Can't forget it,
Don't forget it,
But I'm triggered,
But I need to talk about this,
Need to talk,
Need to tell someone,
Need to let people know,
Kept this hidden for years,
Writing in anger,
Wanting to be close to him,
Knowing it's not good,
I can't,
Cut off contact in my early 20s,
Age 23 was the last type of contact,
Stuff happened too,
But not getting into it,
Just another monster he is,
Gotta remind myself,
There are good people out there,
Rare to find
