You're a crime
I see it in those shiny teeth
in your eyes
a secret beneath
the scars are mine
of years embattled fear
you're not the one I thought
when once I held you dear
The fire broke out
In my heart & in my soul
You did not quell the flames
when all had lost control
I yearned for justice
fought hard for it too
cos all I wanted was honesty
the least of which from you
You couldn't do it
& I had to find out alone
It broke me into pieces
my mind a mess and prone
It's been ten years
and I pray those children are fine
If there is a consolation
I'm glad those kids weren't mine
And so now you're on the offenders list
& banned from the church
It's the least I could do to protect them all
and stop you're dirty search
-Ange
