FEAR~T a P e

You tell me not to talk. 

I shut my mouth. 

He puts his hands on me. 

You say to not pay attention. 

 I try to not. 

But I don't. 

I tell you it must stop. 

You tape my mouth closed. 

Then you leave. 

You say to not overreact.

He will melt away.

Yet he comes back. 

He touches me again.

I do not say anything. 

My mouth is taped shut.
