Shame engulfs me
when you say things.
It floods my entire being
and I am never sure
what the trigger might be
I'm a dirty secret
but you know that.
I was
a naive little girl
squeezed and fondled
then kissed quiet
by old men
Hush now baby
Don't cry
Each time you leave
I'm relieved
but afterward
shame continues
to flow
through my
wreckage
I flush thinking
about you
cringe in front
of the mirror
Me
years later
still someone's
dirty secret
