The scent of sin

still lingers

and the memory

remains like a

stubborn stain.

 

Now alone with her

own qualms, rocking

in the fetal position.

Naked and vulnerable

to the torment

that was sure to

find her once more.

 

Why...

why...

WHY?

They're all the same,

NONE are him.

 

Married, yes.

Father, yes.

Not hers.

No, still

not hers.

 

Her mother wasn't

good enough.

Their family wasn't

good enough.

Now she's not

good enough.

 

The scent

still lingers

the memory

still remains.

 

Naked and alone

the torment

finds her.

It was sure to.

Her own qualms,

his too.

 

 

Abandoned.

Cheated.

Still

not

good

enough.

Bio:

I'm from the United States and I began writing when I was in second grade and I haven't looked back. From that very first creative story assignment that we had 15 minutes to do, to editor on the school newspaper, to today.
