Wispy clouds like blue-spun
cotton candy at the Fair
***
The place where we first met
And you took
me behind the
circus tent
***
To squeeze my virgin breasts
Hard nipples
nakedly
exposed in the
hot sun
***
You were a
raven-haired devil
then, who made
me feel free
***
And so I ran
from what I’d known
from rules and
loneliness
***
To you
for safety
for love
And I finally lived
***
Until you
Broke me --
One
controlling
moment
at a time
***
Smashing my
soul
like a
paper piñata
***
You can’t hurt
me anymore
***
I
won’t
let
you
***
I am strong
now
on this red
dirt road
***
Alone.
