Promised to Protect

by ·

10/20/2016
I showed you my secrets
You promised to protect
Now floating in the breeze
Your indifferent neglect
What once was my own
The world to inspect
Once stowed away
Locked in my safe
The key held close
Shielded from escape
The only way in:
My trust or your break
Innocence stolen
Remorseless rape.
