why do you still
touch my life
although nearly two decades have
passed
since last you
touched me
why must you still
infiltrate my life
my every laugh, love,
interaction
why must i still feel you
touch me
please
leave me
alone
give me normalcy
in my
life
the normalcy you stole
when you
stole my childhood
where did you hide it
my childhood that you took away
it's too late
now
for it has surely tarnished
together with the years of my life
i have been deprived
of
the happiness you have pirated
away
from me.
leave now
let me
love my children and
trust my husband
and
forget your words
leave
now
let me love myself and
trust my body and
forget
your touch
leave now
let me piece
together the few moments of my life
that do not yet bear
your fingerprints
before they are manipulated by your
touch
also
