Virginity Lost (a challenge poem)

You took away the only thing I could have given with love. Something, someone, in my life could have cherished, if they had only had the chance. I was just eight years old when you came to me. I didn't know what you were asking was wrong. I was a little girl, one that wanted to have a family. Not a broken home. But a family that shared love and tenderness. Instead what I got was a bunch of lies, and hiding behind closed doors, doing what you wished. To make Daddy happy. Why did you take it from me?? Were you so sick and demented that it was right to you??? I mean you were the adult here. I was just a child. I didn't know when you touched me that it was wrong. When you lay beside me and put your body on mine, your manhood into me, a child, not yet a woman, that it was not something other daughters did with their fathers. I didn't know. And no one told me. I never asked. Don't know that I was ashamed, because how many eight year olds know about sex to know it's wrong to be touched that way. By anyone, much less a parent? You took my virginity, you took my sister's as well. I didn't know it until years later, that what you were doing to me, you were doing to her also. And she was younger than I. How painfully aware I am now of the wrong that happened all those years ago. How perverted the world can be. And although I can say now, I know it was wrong, I didn't then, because I was just a little girl..Wanting what all little girls do, and getting taught all the wrong in this world, by the man that should have taught me right!I put this under erotic so that not everyone would be able to read it, although it is more angst or sad, and definitely very personal! :) Written March 1st, 2002 © on Feb 28 2002 06:27 PM PST, Deborah Wolz   18 • 0 • 16
