Her footfall is uncertain, the one in front of the other

I will avoid getting emotional in my comment and say: it is a tragic and grim reality you portray. The sad thing is that she has to get back to that house and face the monster in real live 3D. makes one wonder just who the Devil is.

May lies be the burden? Lies don´t protect, they prevent safety.

wow wow wow. I could never imagine having to bear such a thing. I was almost raped when I was eleven, but luckily I escaped. It was my fault though. Reading this, it makes me wonder how different I would have grown up with the image of being raped haunting me. Even coming close is scary enough...it has created some conflict between my man and I and how I let him touch me. Reading this I am glad a family member didn't try to rape me. Great poem!
