Knockin on wood
I wish i could
dig you up
and open the the seal
terrified
cold
I want a hug
a warm hug
from you
who cared unconditionally
who did not have ulterior motives
who protected
with whom i was safe
comfortable
come out of the ground
or out of the sky
if i have hope
can you show me a sign
come back to me for a day
remind me im worthy
of love
not a piece of meat
but a soul
you left me at 11
before i was a woman
would you love me the same
would it change
be awkward
like it was with Wade
and other adults
who touched me inappropriately
when i was no more than 13
am i horrible
to not move past this
i play the victim card
should be survivor card
are my current actions
my situation, desperateness, sexual prowess
a reflection of my past?
or my current reflection upon my past?
I don't care
I want you back dad
Tell me to dance
Tell me to be strong
Tell me you are proud
And forgive me
The shameful things I've done
Amen.

To the point
Communication is the purpose and you satisfied it. Straight, to the point, no hi-fi words and no show-off. The topic taken seriously, revealed brutally and then left to wander. Simple.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I think my best writing is often the short stuff that doesn't have big words, but perhaps more imagery or just weird ideas. I write quickly when I get into a cool zone too. I didn't realize that end left you to wander. I didn't intend that, necessarily. Its fun to see how poetry affects people differently. :)
