The Hands Of Time Poem by Hannah Davies

Time has moved along
The pain now isn't so strong
It may have happened before
But the feeling's still raw.

I had got myself stupidly drunk
Thought I had found myself a real hunk
Sex was a daunting thought
So more and more alcohol was brought.

I had not let anybody that close for almost 7 year
Getting flashbacks of the rape is what I fear
I freeze from his gentle touch
But being uder the influence meant I didn't care as much.

The next morning he told me how much he liked me
That he would phone me and left me be
I believed his lie
But once again I'm the one left to cry.

He never told me he was wed
As he got me into bed
If I had known
Then the door would have been shown.....

.....It was later difficult to believe
That once again I had concieved
Too ashamed to admit
That i had been follish for a bit.

My Baby's like may have been cut short
But abortion was never a thought
Now I'm trying to get my life on the right track
The hands of time sadly can't be turned back.
