Just a poem I wrote in the middle of the school year. The story just flowed.
The Moon Won't Save Me
Excited was I
to see my favorite cuz.
I guess I was just too blind
to see him for what he was.
The man that I looked up to
the boy who played dolls with me.
The scar he inflicted upon me,
it's just too hard to believe.
He turned to me one night
while we were watching TV
He said, "Hey cuz, I'm going for a walk
would you like to come with me?"
Of course I agreed
to a walk under the full moon.
So he took me by the hand
and led me from the room.
The starts were shining high above
the full moon a spotlight.
It was beautiful, I thought.
My cousin's eyes shined with delight.
We stepped somewhere into the wood
and he took me by the waist.
He looked at me and smiled and said
"I know a game that we can play."
Then I began to realize
as he laid me in the grass.
I froze.
I was already broken in half.
I called up to the moon
I shouted and I cried
but the being above never heard me
though I prayed to them in my mind.
And then it happened,
what I most feared.
I shattered.
I had never been so scared.
I closed my eyes and finally gave in
as he covered me in scars.
The shattered pieces of my heart broke
as I was stolen to the stars.
