A Poem About Neil
How exceedingly cruel it is
for a victim like myself
to finally feel a sense of belonging,
understanding
and somehow, safety
After years of searching,
starved of appropriate connection
taken from me so young
and bleeding of innocence
To reside in a place
purposefully created and crafted
with such sickening intentions
to violate and manipulate others, just as I was
and to tremble at the thought
that feeling safe here was always his plan.
