It was here-
It was there-
It was everywhere-
In the woods.
In a car.
In an alley.

It was me-
It was you-
It was her and him-
My cousin.
Your sister.
His brother.

I was young-
I was old-
I was a teenager-
Five.
Sixteen.
Eighteen.

It happened for minutes-
It happened for hours-
It happened for months-
Five minutes.
Five hours.
Five months.

He was a friend-
He was a family member-
He was a nobody-
My boyfriend.
Your father.
Someone I don't know.

Told no-one-
Told family-
Told police-
Nobody knows.
The police know.
I know.

It hurt-
It hurt-
It hurt-
It hurt.
It hurt.
It hurt.
